Cousin Camp

Every year Jeff's family has their reunion the first weekend in August. It's held at the Hopcreek Hideaway up Nephi canyon. This year our family (Jeff and his siblings) was in charge. That only happens once every six years since there are six siblings in the extended family. It was a lot of work, but it was fun. My kids call the reunion cousin camp. There are lots of cousins to play with.

Little Princess and Cousin O were funny together. They're at the age where everything is 'mine'.
There's a stream that runs through the property, so there's lots of water to play in. Little Princess would only cross the bridge if someone held her hand.
For games this year, we decided to do a Bocce Ball tournament. It was a big hit. Everyone had a great time. I didn't get aa great picture of the winners-Scott and Annalynn, but they were pretty excited. They won a Lion Statue-the pride of the reunion.
We also played a bunch of Minute to Win It games. Everyone had a great time with this as well. This particular round was to pull tissues out of a box one at a time.
They also had to undo a roll of toilet paper with one hand. There were some very creative ways to get this done
My kids had a great time. It's such a peaceful beautiful place. Little Man was right at home being in the outdoors.

This was part of the obstacle course for the kids games. Little Princess thought it was fun to just lay in the tube.

Little Princess doing the sack race. What a nut. She just walked with her sack. It was pretty cute.
More water game fun.
Another favorite part was sitting by the campfire at night. This picture doesn't really do it justice, but Uncle Keith put something in the fire to change it colors. It was all shades or blue and green. The kids thought that was pretty cool.
I loved this picture of cousin O. She got herself wet in the water when she wasn't supposed to. It was hard to keep the kids dry and clean all the time.
Cousin M decided it would be fun to roll around in the mud right before we were ready to pack up and go home. Too funny.

It was a fun reunion. We're already looking forward to next year :)
