Saturday is when all the fun began!! Every one made a cowboy hat, and every family got a colored bandanna. Our family was purple. Then we played Family Olympics!! The games were, cow pie throwing, seed spitting, wrangle your animals, and roping cows. It was super fun, oh and yes we used real cow pies!! Grandma was really serous about throwing her cow pie. I think the funnies part was when one adult caught a cow pie in the face that a kid had thrown. Then we took a break for lunch. After lunch some of us floated the creek that runs through my moms property. I was worried about being cold, but Derk came to my rescue with a shot of Tequila!! LOL After lunch we did dinner and celebrated birthdays. After some "adult beverages" we played some Minute to Win it games!!!! We had kid versions of every game so everyone could play. Sunday was more of a cool down day, everyone had to pack up and head home. It was a wonderful weekend having everyone together in one place. We already set a date for the next one in two years!!!
Over the weekend of July 9th we had a mini family reunion. I say mini because it was our Grandma, and all my Aunts and Uncles on my moms side, well all but one. It was a blast!! We all stayed at my moms house which was perfect because there was plenty of room for everyone to camp and play, plus lots to do. We went up on Thursday night to set up camp and hang out with the couple family's who also arrived Thursday night. On Friday we went up the mesa to look around. For those of you who don't know the Mesa is one of the largest flat top mountains, it has over 300 lakes. It is beautiful. It rained a lot while we were up there. There is still snow on the ground so the kids all got to have a snowball fight in July!! I could not believe there was still snow. Once we got down from the mesa everyone els arrived. Friday night was more of a laid back night letting everyone get settled. We made smores and pies over the campfire.
