Thank goodness it's Pridays!

The family reunion was a success. We had an absolute blast hanging out, swimming, visiting, eating, playing games, shopping, golfing, feats of strength, driving bikini girls from the pool, family wiffle ball, skittle eating game, and just having fun. And we all still love each other at the end of it all. Its times like this that i wish we could do these things more often. But some people tell me then it wouldn't be as special. I beg to differ. I have a great family and we have a great time when we get together. If only that sister of mine would move just a little closer so that we could see them at the family dinners. Speaking of my sister. I have to give her the biggest thank you because she planned the reunion. I have always thought my sister was wonder woman. She just keeps proving it to me. Plus she's way hot like Linda carter! ;)

family wiffle ball game--we're almost pros. there were a group of people that sat and watched the entire game. I'm sure it was entertaining to say the least. Yes, that's Bill's bare chest--well mostly bare. He dyed his chest hair and then shaved it to look like a maple leaf for Canada. Mom loved it most! You rock Bill.

Men doing feats of strength. Who won again? Mike won dismount, Darin won overall. Right?

Mandy and her kids and me and mine with granny and grandpa went on a trolley ride up and down main street.

Bill taught the kids a new game. my kids loved it and would be more than happy to show it to anyone interested.

to spare you all the pictures taken during this other game i will just show the bowl of skittles, those that played the game will remember it well.

never ending pool fun
playing 500 in the pool.

Kelly, Granny, Ashlee (lots of walks to the parks and around the area)

I really do have a great family!

How fun! So the Skittle game. . .with straws? I think we've done that before but with M & Ms. It's pretty intense! :)

Too much fun...there are things that we will laugh at for years to come. Not a bad idea to try the skittles game with m&m's. Just not sure that I want to ruin my love of chocolate. It is interesting to ask the kids what they remembered from the week!
