Twenty Eight years ago the first "Brunson" grandchild was turning five and Grandpa Dean wanted to do something special with him. So he took Jared over a mountain near McGill, Nevada called Axe Handle. It is about a 4 mile hike. This became a Brunson tradition as each grandchild anxiously awaited turning five and going over the hill with Grandpa. 26 grandkids and approximately 28 great-grandkids later we all look forward to this gathering and the picnic after it! Thank you Grandpa for the fabulous homemade ice cream, the homemade rootbeer, and the great time!
Preparing for the hike! Here we go..........
At this dead tree there is a time capsule buried that is dug up each year and new goodies added to it. We also always take a group picture on this tree!

Brunson Family Picnic July 2008
After the five year old hike we all gathered together at Timber Creek for a family picnic. It was so fun to visit and be out in the cool mountain air! Notice.....Carter is in most of our pictures! LOL!

Love San Diego!
July 11-13 found us in sunny San Diego watching the Braves/Padres games! We had a great time! Look at that smile on Ryan's face.....he loves the games! But then we all do....we have even converted Jessica! YEAH!
We stayed at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. The view from our room was of the Coronado Island Bridge. So fun!
The games were at night so Saturday we went over to Coronado Island and Imperial Beach! We all love the beach! Then we headed to one of our favorite places for lunch......Panera Bread! Yum!
