FAMILY REUNION 2009

The last weekend in June we had our annual siblings reunion. Beck and Sherm hosted it this year out at their place. We started out on Friday afternoon with a way fun scavenger hunt for the kids. First off, we divided into teams and had to do various activities before we could get the next clue to the treasure:

"Egg Baseball" - round all the bases without breaking your egg

Balloon shaving (with the clue written on the balloon)

Scavenger hunt within a scavenger hunt - had to find all the items before receiving the final clue!

Treasure found!! A huge box full of treat bags for everyone!

After a short break for dinner, we tie-tyed shirts to use as our 4th of July shirts. Our family was in charge of this craft - sounds fun huh?!? Well, we tried to tie-dye with regular RIT dye....didn't work at all!! All the shirts came out pink after washing - I think only the girls ended up wearing their shirts on the 4th...but it was fun to see the designs that came out of our efforts! (sorry everyone)

You can't have a late night get together, in the country, without roasting marshmallows and making smores!!

Saturday: we loaded up and went to the water park! The kids had a blast (as did everyone I hope) the weather was nice and hot, so the water didn't feel quite so cold!

It was a great reunion and can't wait to see what Aaron and Megan have in store for us next year! (I promise I won't try to be crafty)
