2014 Whipple Reunion Video.

(you can watch on youtube to view it on a full screen, for all those confused aka my mom)

i can't believe we were all together a month ago!

right now i wish we all lived closer to each other. it's a huge bummer cause i would take a
best cousin over a best friend any day...grandpa always wanted us to be friends with our cousins
and i would say we surpassed that.

i wasn't sure if i needed to make a video considering we do the same things every year
so i thought i had to add in a twist with the kiss cam!

i sent out a snapchat for song requests or suggestions...kyle was the only one & that was
okay because he gave about a thousands options. it was so funny he was just firing them off.

hope ya'll enjoyed it ;)

Whips.

the last day at the reunion is always a sad day.
BUT always fun too cause it consist of voodoo donuts and farmer's market!

okay so ya know how my uncle is all artsy and has made reunion shirts since the beginning of time...like b.k. (before kids) like b.m. (before marriage)
there were some classic shirts in the 70's that i wish we could bring back
BUT the good news is the tradish continues for all of us to enjoy!
wearing our new tee is one of the reunion highlights
this year's shirt was inspired years ago...
there was an artsy father/son collaboration....and the WHIPPLE FAMILY CREST t-shirt was born.

while googling the whipple family coats of arms i came across some other apparel...
i need to order one of these for our furry family member...haha... no but really though...
and for all those baby making family members...order this because i feel like next year all the babes need a picture together in diapers and the bib.

these next pics i love.
because they remind me of when we all were little cousins...
taking silly pictures for our uncle doug.
ohhhhh the memories we will never forget.

this was our last breakfast...yup scotchies.

okay so one of the activities was to go through some old hidden gems.
grandma had some never before seen photos.
and this is one of my favorites...whenever i need a pick-me up or smile i look at this photo...

oh and these are pretty hilar for various reasons:

killin it in my pink hat.

so as you can tell little kids ~~like~~ LOVE popsicles.
and cash LOVES to share his with evy.
seriously i wondered if his teeth were stained permanently red from so many pops from gigi.
whenever he cried he was given a pop, which happened often. pretty hilar.

Let Freedom Ring.

we adore the 4th.

it's been one of our favorite holidays since basically forever or since the annual whipple family reunion started. it's the one time a year we get to see everyone. we really thought about NOT goin this year because how expensive it is to fly from H-town, BUT andrew reminded me we hadn't seen my brothers since last year. whoa. how sad is that we only see our fam once a year? maybe 2 times a year if we are lucky. growing up sucks sometimes.

so after the butte to butte run we eat brunch then head for the pool.

then tie dye then badminton then dinner then our program then fireworks and dessert.

so i bought these glasses for the reunion...i wore them for a whole 2 hrs until a water balloon hit my head and i never saw the again...it was a great 2 hrs.

asher wearing jakes chain..classic.

thanks to uncle doug we got crafty!
everyone brought something white to dye.
we got creative with socks, tanks, towels, shorts, shirts...you get the picture.
