Family Reunion, Dr. Seuss Style!

Every Labor day we get the opportunity to spend lots of fun time with my Dad's siblings, all my cousins and their kids and anyone else who can stand us :)  It's always a blast!  This year Dad, Mom and us kids were in charge - the theme was Dr. Seuss and we camped out in White Rocks!  Each family was assigned a Dr. Seuss book to plan their meal, kids trade, and activities around - it was fun!

We had a skeet shoot!









Laex's job was to be the 'puller' - he took it quite seriously!  He also got his first shooting lesson!





































Uncle Stan hooks swings to his horse walker and the kids love to go round & round!




He also gave them horse rides!


We had Kids Crafts, Kids Trades, Adult Crafts, Horse Shoe Tournament, Raffle, Games & TOO MUCH good food!




Our family had 'Cat in the Hat'!  And my super-talented Sis-In-Law made these fun hats for the girls to wear!




This would be Trev sleeping with his dinner plate still in his hands, he can sleep ANYWHERE!



The boys sported these!



We served BBQ chicken, Potatoes, Corn on the Cob, Jello (with Red fish & Blue fish), Fruit & several other yummy salads, & Rolls for our meal!



What a fun time with family --we headed home a day early to finish packing for our move 4 days later!
{despite the look on his face, Laex really was having a good time :) }

Also, the Wasps were TERRIBLE this year - our poor Loa got stung TWICE on the last day --once on the back and once on her lip - poor girl couldn't figure out what the heck was happening to her!




Potato Party!

When you're moving to the land of spuds there's nothing more fitting then a potato party!! We were lucky enough to have our best friends and neighbors join us for a little going away party where we all enjoyed A yummy 'spud' bar! Of course I forgot to take pictures ( I hate it when I do that) LeGrand snapped a few at the end of the night!




We miss all of our friends but look forward to having you visit us in grace!!
