Family Reunion

Monday through Wednesday we went camping with my family for our family reunion. My parents were in charge and the theme was Christmas in July. So we did some of the things that my family traditionally does at Christmas time. We had a pinata.

And of course we decorated a Christmas tree. The tree really was cuter than it looks. The kids strung popcorn on it and they dipped pinecones in peanut butter and then bird seed. We made snowflakes and then that night we put battery operated tea lights on it.

The last night Santa Clause came. Here are Emmy and T.J. with their presents.

We also did traditional camping stuff. Shawn and Lindsay brought the biggest marshmellows I have ever seen to roast. Believe it or not, that is what Emmy is eating.

Shawn also set up a zipline which was the hit of the reunion.

And we played "Minute To Win It" games.

The camping in a tent with 3 kids under 4 could have gone better and we could have done with a little less rain, but over all we had a good time.
