Bowman Family Reunion 2010

Us Bowman kids all come home at the same time every two years. Most of the Bowman kids came. Missed Melissa and her family this year and a few other nephews and nieces that weren't able to make it. Such good fun laughing on the floor times. We had many of 3am nights just us adults hanging out. Question, how come in this picture my Dad is the only normal looking one.
Below are a ton of pictures starting from day one.

We always ate outside on the car port.

Laura and Mark put on the opening ceremonies with a game called "Scene It" geared towards the Bowman history and growing up.

I love this picture. One of my favs. Lydia is awaiting Grandpa getting the horse all saddled up.

My brother Nate brought his Great Dane Toby (who was hardly one yr.) all the way over from KY. He is HUGE and the kids loved him!

Mark dancing with the kids while they wait their turn to ride the horse.

Perfect example how we fed all these people.

My brother in law Dave and Emery

Cousins, Johnathon and William. They both (day and night) had to do breathing treatments because of their asthma and allergies. It was so cute. They enjoyed it.

Johnathon took this picture. They entertained each other.

As a joke, Kristen got these tiny cups for Laura's family and set them out awaiting their reaction. We laughed so hard over this. Us Bowman's are known that when we get together everyone gets one plastic cup with their name on it to last them through the visit. These barley held 2 tbs.

Maggie polished all the little girls toes. Lydia had never had that done. Yes, I her mother have never polished her toes. So Aunt Maggie got her to do it. When we got home she wanted it off and she said to me, "I never do that again". Maybe if it was blue and not pink.

Pink polished toes for Miss Lydia

Dad's new heavy barn doors. They are amazing!

A day out at the local inside wave pool.

Shelly and Stella

These two sweet visitors made their apperence again. They some how always make room in their busy schedule to fit the Bowman family reunion in to their tight performing/entertaining schedule. You never know what theme they will come and surprise you with. This time it was Civil War. What a talented dueo they are. They never let us down. Their sense of style is amazing.
