Family Reunion

SM and his brother were the officiators during the family auction. The auction is done yearly to earn money for the next years family reunion. It was very entertaining to watch SM and his brother run the auction. They did so well...we made more money than any other year and part of that was because of the auctioneer.
Water activities are always fun for the kids. In addition to water activities, the park has an awesome play ground. It's the coolest I've ever seen.
We made a quilt block for the family quilt. I got my inspiration from SM's shirt. I drew the picture and SM colored it. We make a good team.
There was also service projects that we could work on while we were visiting with family members. Here is the baby quilt that needed to be tied.
Here's a photo of the youngest family member...until the twins showed up. I don't know the twins but I know my niece. Isn't she precious?
A little dinner entertainment.
Cookies for dessert. Yum!
We had a great reunion. We've actually had a lot of activities the past three weeks. I have enjoyed all of them. One of the advantages of living near family is doing a lot of things with family. I feel so loved!
