Walter Family Reunion

The Paul Walter family gathered together for a family reunion here in Utah in June.  Katie and Tami had an amazing schedule and free time that allowed for everyone to have fun together.  Since Debbie was having the baby the next Tuesday we had to maintain a pretty low profile during some of the more strenuous activities.  :)
First day at the awesome Provo Rec Center.  The cousins were so good with Bennett.  They helped him down the water slides and took such good care of him!
Katie, Debbie and Tami chilling while the kids played.
The cousins.  Bennett couldn't get enough of his cousins this trip.  He followed them all around and they were ALL so good to him!
Prego Mama!

That evening was Truman's baby blessing.  What a great evening with everyone!  Scout and Ana with Truman.
Jake is such a good sitter for Bennett.    We wished you lived closer!
Along with a crazy game of Family Feud!  
The next evening we took  a family picture (which is already outdated) and enjoyed some hilarious Minute to Win It games.  
Cookie from forehead to mouth
Cheetos stuck to your head
Such a good look
Water gun shooting and lots and lots more!  Great time with awesome people!
The next day we met in the canyon for lunch and to celebrate Grandpa Paul's 75th birthday!  The kids put on a skit of all the main events in his life.  It was very cute.  OLD MAN!  
Bennett and Emily (SO CUTE!)

During some of the free time Debbie and I took Bennett to the Bean Museum on BYU.  FREE and a ton of fun!  He saw this giant elephant!
He also saw the giraffes.  He loved this visit.  
The family also threw Debbie a surprise baby shower on one of the mornings where we had free time.  There weren't very many pictures during the shower.
It was so nice of them to think of this and give her some attention.  
It was a great weekend to celebrate family and enjoy some time before the baby arrived.  We didn't anticipate spending Saturday evening in the hospital though.  During the afternoon on Saturday, Debbie fell down the stairs causing her foot to become very swollen.  So we headed off to the ER to make sure she and the baby were OK.
Here is the trooper!  39 weeks pregnant and still smiling!
Poor foot!
Having slight contractions.  We didn't leave the hospital till almost 4am.  Everything was great and we would be back in 3 days!!!
An awesome time with the family and lots of laughs and fun.  We couldn't be more lucky to have an entire family who loves and cares for one another.
