Family Vacation - July 3

Saturday morning we had a yummy breakfast at my sister's house (waffles, hash browns, yummyness). It's great that our RV is in their driveway and helps 'accommodate' our family of five, as my mom and brother are here visiting too.

After breakfast, our family of five loaded up in the RV and headed to the "Glenn R. Lewis Family Reunion" to celebrate my Grandpa's 90th birthday!! The reunion was at a huge cabin near Park City Utah. Once we arrived at the cabin we were greeted by tons of family, love it! Then we got to see the man of honor....my Grandpa Lewis! Here is a picture of my niece Sydney & Annabelle with Meg, Peyt & Katie. All wearing their new headbands courtesy of my cousin's wife, thanks Sarah!
The cabin had great decor (sorry PETA). Each bedroom had a theme like bear, wolf, deer. There were antler chandeliers, animal heads on the wall and real wood paneling.
Here is my newest niece Jane all festive for the holiday. Her daddy painted her toes red, so cute! Jane is my Grandpa's 41st great-grandchild!
Next was games. Meg and Sydney enjoyed playing horseshoes.
I played a game (don't remember what it was called). Here we are 'posing' me, Holly & Spencer, Aaron, Johnny, Aunt Diane & Uncle Alan, & Kevin. A small yellow ball was tossed and then we each had to toss a ball to see who was closest to the yellow ball. It was fun, but I wasn't that great at it.

Next up was the water balloon toss. Meg partnered with Sydney and Katie and I were partners.

The second round Katie and Sydney were partners and Meg and I were partners. Meg and I did really well, we came in second place!
Next was the 'Treasure Hunt'! When I was a child my Grandpa Lewis used to take us grandkids on many treasure hunts, but since he isn't mobile my Uncle Don did one. Here are some the great-grandkids waiting for the treasure hunt to start.

The treasure hunt took us all around the cabin. Meg found one clue. The 'treasure' was tootsie roll lollipops. I got a chocolate one and shared with Peyton.

After the treasure hunt it was time for dinner. The girls did more talking then eating.

After dinner Peyton along with her toddler cousins had fun playing with this game. They would take one of the strings and move it to the other goal, one at a time. They were so cute working together. Here is Lindsey, Cash, Grace, Julianne & Peyton.

They did this for almost an hour, back and forth, and had a fabulous time!
Meanwhile, the boys had fun paint balling some rocks and a wooden fence.

Seeing Uncle Jeff have fun made Katie want to join in too. So Katie made a rock and a plant turn red.

Then most of us gathered downstairs in the piano room to sing hymns and patriotic songs as we waited for it to be dark enough for fireworks. Here is Sydney, Meghan, me and my sister Michelle.

Finally it was dark enough for fireworks. Yea! The girls played with sparklers while we watched the big show above our heads. My husband was able to get a bunch of fireworks for the 'show'.My husband enjoys fireworks, mostly illegal ones, and I am a supportive wife! Sadly, the Fire Marshall was not supportive of the use of illegal fireworks, about halfway through the 'show' he showed up and he asked us to stop. Opps! Later that night, Meghan helped her Great Aunt Diane make dough, my grandma's receipe, for the orange rolls for tomorrow's dinner. Meg loves to cook and bake and was thrilled that she got to help make the dough.
It was a long day, thankfully the RV was parked in the driveway so we didn't have to go far to go to sleep.
