9/9/09!

This year we held a Cohrs family reunion in Branson, MO on 9/9/09 to celebrate my Grandpa's Universe of Nines, a mathematical theory he developed around the number nine that's pretty cool. Branson was a nice central point between the Colorado Cohrs, the Michigan Cohrs, the Chicago Cohrs and the St. Louis Cohrs and turned out to be a fun town. We went golfing, took in a few shows, held a special toast at 9:09 pm on 9/9/09 and generally had a great time being together as a family. It was great meeting my cousin Becky's new daughter Sophia, her and Layla hit it off. We drove out early with my brother Aaron and his wife Kristi and did some water skiing on Table Rock Lake, which was a blast. Unfortunately I broke our camera right before the big day, we visited the Precious Moments Chapel outside Joplin, MO, which was amazing and I was skipping with Jackson on my shoulders and the camera fell right out of my pocket and broke, so I was bummed we didn't get any photos of the actual 9/9/09 celebration. But here's a few before the camera broke.

Becca and Jackson in the float tube at the lake, they had a lot of fun although the tube cover broke right after this picture was taken so this was the only tube run of the day:


Here's photographic proof of me water skiing, it took me awhile to get up, but it was great once I finally did it. Kristi is an old pro and Aaron did really good too, it was nice because the water was so warm.



Everyone in the water! The boys had so much fun jumping off the back of the boat into the water, we did this for hours.



Here's a shot inside the Precious Moments Chapel right before the camera broke. This place was really impressive, the guy who created Precious Moments painted everything in here by himself and it's really well done.



Here's a good shot of the Cohrs Clan on 9/9/09 my Dad took:



Dallas, Tanner and Jackson learn the 'Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil' Cohrs brothers tradition



Nice group shot before the Dixie Stampede, long live Dolly:
