Reunion and Post-Reunion Party

Our reunion was a success!  Everyone had so much fun (I think, anyway).  Here some pics from the day!

The kids played "World Traveler" (see previous post before this one on how to play).

Here they are colouring in their passports. 

Grandpa was Ethan's babysitter...Ethan enjoyed sitting with the men :)

Here the kids are partaking in the Netherlands' game...riding a tricycle.  It was the only picture I got as I was "customs" and I was too busy stamping everyone's passports once they finished a game.

Here our "Minute To Win It" game!  Ian hosted and I was his "Vanna White" hahaha...

We had everyone divided into either the blue team or the red team.  Points awarded were 1 point for finishing within 60 seconds and an extra 1 point was awarded if you finished first.  Zero points if you didn't complete the task.

Here's some of the games. Go to www.nbc.com/minute-to-win-it/how-to  for details on how to play each game.

So yes, the red team won.  I was blue.  The winning team got to eat first.

After eating we played some other games and had dessert.  Prizes were given out for people who traveled the furthest, whose anniversary was closest, closest birthday, person wearing the most red, etc.  We all had lots of fun!

The next day we hosted the post-reunion party at our house (after church) since we are the only ones in the area with a pool and a large enough house/yard.  Our pool hadn't seen that many people in it EVER but it was great weather...perfect for a swim and a BBQ.

 

How many people can we fit in our teeny-tiny hot tub? :)

 

We had a great weekend but we're tired.  Today we're relaxing, cleaning up, snacking on leftovers, and watching the Olympics...

While watching the Men's synchronized 10 m platform, Mason remarked the following:

"Why are they wearing diapers?"

...he saw the speedos...

And yesterday, while watching the women's diving,
 he said,

"they're all mommies, you know."

To which Austen replied,

"Some of them are just girls."

It certainly is fun to watch the Olympics with our kids...especially since they're so interested. 

Wasn't the opening ceremony beautiful?  I loved when they lit the cauldron at the  end...so beautiful.

Have a wonderful day!
