Burgandy BBQ

The day after the 50th Anniversary Party we had a Family Reunion at Cascade Park.

There was coloring & a candy hunt for the little kids...

 trying to keep the paparazzi away... (I think it'll be my goal to use the word paparazzi in every post from now on)

relay races and a water balloon toss for the adults...

playing in the river...

naptime...

spending time with family...

and first attempts at slacklining.

Even our two missionaries were there.

It was a really fun day.  There was also food.  But the Little Man was eating at the same time as everyone else, so I was admiring the stunning blue sky and green leaves above the hammock...without a camera, sadly.

A couple of special-to-me things:
Obviously we all had matching t-shirts (no, it wasn't one of those funny coincidences), and since they didn't have baby sizes, I altered an XL to fit the Little Man.  I used the baby gown tutorial for the neckline & sleeves, and more or less traced an existing shorts romper for the rest.  I'm happy with how it turned out.


These two were thick as thieves, and I wish the didn't live so far away (UT).  This is one of my favorite pictures of them.

Nice write up Paige. We've certainly had a wonderful and exhausting couple of weeks. Memories to last a long long time.
