Aaron and I have worked on planning this reunion for the past two years.
Our Theme: Wave Your Flag. A year ago we gave every family a CD to announce where and what we would be doing. We had SO much fun putting this together.

The Lake
The ginormous down pour!
Despite the rain, we had a blast at the lake.
Fear Factor
12 and under: moldy cheese, vegetable juice, baby corn, lemon slice, dog food (really it was canned corn beef...sick!)
barf bucket
We had two winners in the kid fear factor. Mason and Beckham. They each got a bag of cold cereal.
Adult Fear Factor: 13 and up
Baking Chocolate bar, pickled onions, wasabi peas, sardines, anchovies, and REAL DOG FOOD.
Emily was such a trooper! I think she did all of them, but couldn't hold back the tears on some.
Travis was the winner. He ate the rest of the can of dog food and although Liz tied him since she ate the whole can of sardines, I'm sorry, but in my opinion the dog food wins out TOTALLY! He got movie tickets.
Hannah and Nathan dared to try the chocolate, because how bad could that be right? Everyone said the chocolate was the worst.
Preparing for the popcorn and movie night. How to Train Your Dragon.
Everyone got tickets for participating, being good sports, helping out, being kind, or winning at the games we played. It was all to be used for our Tent of Talents that we had the last day. Some of the kids really rocked it on those tickets!
Kaden and Aleea did a morning workout for anyone who wanted to. Apparently, they kicked butt!
Family Fun games in the yard

Me and my lovely
Minute to Win it - Adult Time
We asked everyone to make something to contribute to our Tent of Talents. We have some pretty darn spectacular talent in this family! The coveted items were, dad's quilt, Carlee's photo shoot, Travis' babysitting, toys, Aaron's kid picnic bench, and so much more! There were scrapbooks, manicure sets, art kits, kids capes, handmade Christmas ornaments, fresh garden vegetables, homemade lotions and lipgloss...oh my word it was fabulous! I thought my kids were going to die to have to wait until the very end of the reunion to try to win what they wanted. I was happy that all the kids got what they wanted. Phew! That never happens.
There were enough babies to pass around this year. They received more attention than just about anyone!
I'm calling this reunion a success! Everyone that came and participated had a blast. The adults and teenagers stayed up both nights playing volleyball, or board games until the wee hours of the morning. The rain didn't dampen our time. There wasn't enough food and so badly wish we had not underestimated that important part. I'm so thankful that Aaron had the same vision of what we wanted this reunion to be. He is so super fun and truly made planning this a blast.
