It's that time of year again - we just had our annual family reunion & I'm about to "blogument" the occasion for posterity! Kids trickled in early before the organized activities & some lingered longer, but we certainly enjoyed a few weeks of crazy fun with our ever growing family!
On DAY 1, with only nine of the cousins here, Pip comes in & announces to her mother, "Dem kids is buggin me!" That quickly became everyone's mantra whenever someone had a "melt down" (adults included). We CAN be overwhelming...
As usual, we packed in tons of fun! Here are some highlights...
riding bikes...
dirty knees...
otter pops for kids of all sizes...
lovin' so many cousins...
tumbling...
fun with aunts & uncles...
barbies...
Barbie's Birthday...
lining up for sunscreen - we went through a lot of sunscreen...
the kiddie pool...
the waterslide...
walking to the park...
walking to the store...
the tire swing...
diggin in the dirt...
picnics...
s'mores...
games & gamers...
reading fun books...
tired kiddos & slumber parties...
Sky High Sports...
In n Out (Notice how everyone left the kids with Unka Ben & Aunt Dara? Unka Ben shared his drink with Liv, it's almost as big as she is!)...
All of the above festivities occurred before the "official" reunion even started!!! Camp Middleton 2011 is coming up...but first, I'm giving myself another "timeout."

I keep telling Jill I'm coming to the next reunion! You guys have so much fun! Thanks for sharing it all!
Christin, you guys just need to "meet in the middle" & have a Holyoak get-together here at the River next summer! (Of course, it's not the Great Northwest, but we like it.)
This is a family that knows how to have fun. Loved experiencing it from the sidelines here.
