We got embroidered towels (made by my Aunt Sandy) as well as gift baskets and itineraries for when we got there.

The winning team for the first round
My Uncle Bill and Uncle Kris got these inflatable obstacle courses and slides for free from there client for the family reunion. They were SO fun to have.

Katya and I racing each other through the adult obstacle course, I lost.
Zoë is fearless, these courses never even scared her a little bit. She had about 5 different people worn out on the inflatables before I had to force her to go to bed.

Lee had fun throwing the younger boys around in the pool.
We had a scary incident happen at the pool. I normally wouldn't put this on the blog but since this is my journal and i'd like it for the future I decided I would. Lee and Zoë were getting out of the pool so he took off her water wings and sent her inside. I came outside looking for them and I noticed Zoë sitting on the stairs of the pool with no water wings on. I quickly got Lee's attention and as soon as he had turned around and started to go get her she jumped in the pool and fell to the bottom. He quickly jumped in and got her and no harm was done. I can't imagine what would have happened if I never came out when I did.
Of course with the Sefcik's there were a tonne of games played in the evenings. It got SO loud in the evenings with all the different games. Zoë and Dreyton were so good going to sleep there, they didn't even stir with all the games and we were the closest bedroom to the game area.
Cookie decorating with the grandkids and grandparents
My Aunt Sue took this picture of the first 6 awake one morning.
Dreyton had so much fun, he was SO busy and loved to keep me on my toes.
The whole thing was soooo much fun. I feel bad for the ones that couldnt make it. No one wanted to leave.
ReplyDeletethe faces on the guys when they are doing the potatoe sack race is soooo funny!
ReplyDeleteFeath, how bout the faces on the dads at 6 AM. Beckys husband kyle was asleep with 10 week old caymbree on him. While the moms were all sleeping! luv it
ReplyDeleteIf I change my name, can I come too next time? You guys had so much FUN!! Way to keep a family together. You are a happening clan. Kristy, ask Neil about the time he let Lee almost drown at Echo when he took the younger children down to Montana without me. Neil managed to keep it quiet for a few years but Lee was submerged near the dock, floating UNDER the water unconscious. You have a very thankful mother-in-law that you are so alert and watchful over your babes.
