Well this reunion has been in the making for a while now. I had mentioned it a long time ago to his grandparents and somehow from their Daniel and I and Amanda were put in charge. I think we did a Fabulous job if I say so. Everyone had fun and their were no major sunburns or accidents. Oh wait. Ryder did get stitches. That'll come later.
So this reunion was set to start Monday July 28 and go till Thursday July 31. Everyone was pretty much at Tony's cabin on Echo by Sunday. I guess people were pretty darn excited. For the most part everyone fit into Tony and Sassa's cabin. Some brought their trailers and a few ran to another cabin when they saw how many crying babies there would be at night. (haha) But we all fit!
********WARNING NOW: There are going to be many many pictures!***********
So Monday we started out the reunion right. We announced to Daniel's family about baby #2. And then we started everything out right by going boating!

The next pictures that follow depict our wipe out. So Kenzie had pushed off Uncle Dan. Dan then climbed back onto the tube but sat on the nose of the tube. So when Tony started pulling the tube decided to submarine. I grabbed onto the hook of Sean's life jacket while Daniel grabbed his butt and boosted him into the air. Well I only saw the tube coming up and hitting Sean in my head. So I grabbed Sean and jumped off the tube with him. He came up spluttering and whinning a little. Once he had sufficiently gotten rid of the water in his nose I asked him if that was fun. His response? clapping and saying YAY. haha cute kid. We got him back on the tube later and he loved it. So not to traumatized.

| All's good! |
There were so many tubing wipe outs after this I just can't get all the pictures up! I would be here for ten years and you guys would be here for about as long! It was a fun day and Sean just LOVED the boat. It was hard to get him off. haha
We got back to the cabin around 7:00 just in time for dinner and then straight to bed for Sean.
Tuesday
This day started out with a delicious breakfast thanks to the Mike and Leisa group.
Then we had the Amazing Race thanks to my MIL Cindy who did an awesome job and is forever stuck as our Amazing Race creator.
Everyone had a blast! I had a blast running a booth! haha I will vounteer for one every time! Maybe I'll race one year...
Then of course after lunch we went back to the lake! Seriously where else would you go? haha

Wednesday:
 |
| CHilling with his new buddy Chris |
Once things settled down Thursday evening a game of bingo started as well as a game of horseshoes. I went to watch the horse shoes because lets face it... it was quieter over there. haha Dan came and joined after a while and once Grandpa and Gerald won we had to play against them. For never playing horse shoes before I would say beating them was a good thing. :) Then we played Amanda and Grandpa and we still remain undefeated!! :)
Fun times. Thursday was the last day of the reunion. Some people stayed longer and some left Friday because they had adventures else where. It was such a fun family reunion. We shall see who will be brave enough to step up the the plate and organize one in a few years. :)
