We were in charge of buying and bringing all of the food and we loaded the van to the top. I was so proud of our packing skills. We brought all of our stuff, including our trip to Colorado stuff, 3 folding tables, a large pile of fire wood, and all of the food for 40 in this van. This pic is to show how loaded down we were. The van ran like a champ.
One of the activities was to play croquet, badminton, ring toss, and other games.
I made 2 fungulators (water balloon sling shot) and we had a war with each other. We shot over 500 balloons and had a great time. David was the target and got hit dead on more than once.
Our day at Moab and Carter's little front carrier.
Fenton and David climbed the double arch and Fenton was a great little climber. Sadly I was on car/children nap duty. There were about 4 kids asleep in the car so I sacrificed and stayed with them. I also had been there before so I wanted others to experience it.
At the double arch again, you can barely see Fenton right under David with his arms up. What a cutie.
The whole group that hiked to the look out for delicate arch. You can see it in the background on the left of us. Eliza had a small breakdown up there when I tried to cool her off by throwing water on her. I had to carry her and Carter all the way down. She finally fell asleep.
Carter just chillin'.
The sad part was that David, Eliza, and I got sick and slowly but surely each day about 2 or 3 more people got sick. It was a nasty stomach bug that lasted about 24 hours and it went through the family for about 2 weeks. This was David's day '0 sick.
Jason built a rocket launcher and the kids all decorated a rocket and shot it off. It was awesome and they went so high that we were worried that NASA was going to report a sighting:)The reunion was the first of many and it was a great success. The kids loved to play with all of their cousins and it was a great to play games with all of the adults.

bummer about getting sick. That always seems to happen when a group gets together from many places. It looks like you planned a fun time for all ages.
Looks like fun.
That looks like a lot of fun. We got that stomach bug last week. No fun, but atleast it ends quickly!! Carter is such a big cutie now!t
David, you are a trooper. You worked so hard to put everything together and it looks like it paid off BIG time!! I'm just jealous that it wasn't our family getting together. It is such a unity builder. Good on YOU!!!
