Fortie Family Reunion - Placerville, CA

Denny drove down on a Monday with his brother Doug, who first flew to Portland so he could drive down with Denny. Jayden and I flew to Sacramento the next morning! Which was great to miss out on a 10 hour drive and only have to fly for 1 1/2. Jayden is great on the airplane, she just sang, ate and played! :) So Denny and our Aunt Nicole picked Jayden and I up at the airport. We spent the morning at Nicole's house just catching up and having fun.

That afternoon, we drove to Placerville to Camp Nauvoo. It was fun to meet the Fortie family! (Denny's mom side of the family!) Most of whom I hadn't met yet.

Camp Nauvoo is close to town so some family stayed in a hotel, most camped. They had a great grassy field that people pitched tents, they had a kitchen and an indoor eating area, which kept us together for meals which was so fun. (thank you Uncle Jeff and all who helped with meals! the food was so good! I know Denny was in there for almost all of them, doing what he could to help!)

Of course mostly the pictures I took were of Jayden.. wishing I took more pictures!

One of the days we drove to a park which was on our way back to town, and played softball. (I didn't.. but Denny did) I walked around with Jayden and then she took a nap. It was nice and hot so I had the car on and I read while she napped. The family had fun playing!

Jayden and her cousin Kelsie! Jayden loved to play with her! :)

Here is a couple pics of Jayden I took while we watched the game in the shade! She is just too cute!!

Everyone playing softball, it's the only picture I took of the game.

We were there from Tuesday afternoon to Friday afternoon, time flew by so fast!

Looks like a good place to camp. What fun you guys had out there! Jayden probably had the time of her life. :)
