Family Reunion 2013

Well, the time has come again to write about a fun family reunion. This last weekend, we were able to get together with all of my family except my State-side brother and his family (who were greatly missed). This was a pretty low key reunion as no one really took initiative to plan it so we just went and camped out at my mom's house. We had a whole ton of fun activities to do over the weekend and enjoyed being together. I sure do love these guys!

Wheelbarrow races!

All of the grandsons except one - look at that cute smile on Oakley's face. Love it.

We played an awesome game of Human Battleship



Oakley loved dunking the sponges


And throwing them over with Daddy's help


All the grandsons

Emily did an awesome obstacle course complete with twine maze thing

This kid is so good at slackline!


We had a pinata for Christie's birthday party and Oakley loved hitting the dinosaur

Mama and her boy

Action shot of the birthday girl breaking open the pinata. How often have YOU seen the birthday person break the pinata?? Pretty rare.

Sam the Dinosaur


Minute to win it games

It was so hot the chocolate chips melted onto Gabby's forehead! Ha

Westin even got in on the action

And here's the only belly shot from the whole weekend





We played Presidents, Spot it and lots of other games, we sang around the campfire, we had a spectacular firework display courtesy of Chris, ate lots of yummy treats and regular food, and just enjoyed each other's company.

Because I don't have enough pictures and maybe because I'm trying to make up for my lack of blogging, here are some videos too.



I hope you all had wonderful adventures this summer with those you love!
