Family Reunion Craziness

I have given up trying to load pictures in the correct order so here is our family reunion in no particular order :)
Our family goes to a cabin called The Pinnacles, it's past Strawberry and we have a blast up there every year.

We always launch balloons and this year I got to be part of the crew filling up the balloons and it was quite the wet and funny experience. If you notice Dan's hat, my parents all gave us red,white, and blue hats to wear to help us remember my bro-in-law Sam who is serving in Afghanistan right now. We really did miss him a lot, and can't wait for him to come home soon.


Evan in Davy's Mexican wrestling mask... yes my brother is werid, but it's okay, I like him that way- most of the time ;)


Christmas in "July" even though this year it was in August. We wait to exchange family presents when we are all together instead of shipping them off during Christmas time. It is always funner to watch someone open the present you gave them.


My mom had these cute little foam animal hats the kids just loved. They would trade all the time and play like they were the animal.


More balloon launching (one again, blogger picture upload-not a fan)


We made marshmallow guns! It was so fun, here is Christian sweet gun


The pipe waiting to be cut.


We also played kick ball where the bases are chairs and you have to sit in each one before you can run to the next base. It was so fun


Dave and Lara brought stuff to make hemp bracelets/anklets/necklaces. Of course the ladies loved this :)


More marshmallow guns. For reals if you want to see grown men run around and laugh like kids, make marshmallow guns. They split off into teams and shot each other till every one was feeling light head from blowing so many marshmallows. It was quite the clean up but worth it, so fun!


There is a little stream in front of the cabin and the kids imaginations went wild. This year they all found poles and tied on long leaves to them to make fishing poles. They would fish for hours.


And if the marshmallow guns were not enough.... we also made a potato gun which made a nice resounding Boom every time we fired it.



And of course we can't forget the tire swing. Evan loved it but I have to say the kid who loved it the most this year was Little Kirk, he could have swang the whole time and it still wouldn't have been enough.


Christian loves all of his cousins, but Ty and him are two peas in a pod. They were hardly every without each other the whole time, and we are really missing him and the rest of his family right now.
