2016 Reunion

Kitchen Creations by The Guys!

Puzzles were going on at all times. At one point, there may or may not have been two small little girls who got away from everyone's line of sight and cleared the table of this bothersome puzzle just prior to its completion. Never fear - it was quickly replaced onto the table and later completed in record time.

In other areas of the house, the guys teamed up to build left-handed sugar cookie creations to see which team could come up with the most clever idea.

You know Edison is on to something when he is sticking his tongue out in concentration.

Jeff and Parker created the sugar cookie Eiffel Tower.

Across the counter, the Leaning Tower of Piza was remade.

It appears that Parker has been eating the ingredients while his father attempts to seal a win.

The minion creation.......any takers?

Crafting Corner for the Girls

How many chicken nuggets and chicken strips can this group put away? We lost count but the ovens were blazing for a solid hour in order to keep these tummies filled to the brim.

After lunch, Livi was quite happy to play puzzles with Uncle Greg. It was so great to have so many playmates around with no schedules to keep and no places to be.

Sling Shot Water Balloons

Everyone took their turn holding on tight to the sling shot while others aimed and fired long distance balloons into the neighboring cactus plants. We got some of those balloons to travel significant distances. Of course, it was clean up time later on but for now, we were busy aiming and watching those balloons fly away!

Macie found little tiny ones that hadn't broken into pieces but had let all their water leak out. She was an excellent gatherer of the tiny balloons.

Michelle's Bean Bag Toss - A Total Hit!!

Competition continued throughout the week as random pairs would see who could be victorious at the bean bag toss. The weather was perfect (record heat), the location was gorgeous, the home was tremendous and everyone was perfectly happy to be together no matter what we did.
