Ashley made a yummy breakfast for day 3.
She made tons of pancakes with homemade buttermilk syrup, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, and whipped cream. They were heavenly! We all enjoyed them very much.
We had two shifts for breakfast.
Then the craft for the day was making foam airplanes. Weston figured out how to put them together before I did.
Charity, Jenna and Casey were a big help with the craft.
Spencer did a great job!
I loved the colors Benson picked for his airplane.
Allison did a great job with her airplane also.
Then we went outside for our second craft - sand art. Jenna was a big help.
Paisley created a pretty ice cream cone.
Benson did a great job with his flip flop.
Elijah made a boat. I was so appreciative of Charity's help also.
Allison made a beach ball.
Adalei made a cute ice cream cone.
Jenna was so creative and had this wonderful idea to make the poster with holes so the kids could fly their airplanes through the holes. They had fun doing that.
Here's Paisley holding our week's schedule. It included meals, crafts, and games. Charity's birthday was the highlight of the family reunion.

Everyone had such a fun time.
The kids loved it.
I loved watching...
and seeing all the facial expressions.
It was as much fun to watch.
What a great activity for a hot day!
Casey just got hit!

Then it was time to go swimming.
Casey jumped over Benson and dived into the swimming pool. That was amazing to see.
Adalei jumped off the diving board.
Jason helped Brielle go off the diving board. He just lifted her and slowly lowered her into the swimming pool.

Everyone had fun with the pool toys.

After Charity, Casey hit it and broke it open. There were 100 pieces of candy and toys inside it.
Nate made a huge birthday card for everyone to sign.
Jenna made an awesome birthday cake for Charity - lemon blueberry! It was so good.

After Charity's birthday party, Jason played Twister with the kids.
They loved it
and had so much fun.

This is one of my favorite pictures from the reunion - Allison and Audrey together. They got in this car all by themselves.
Relaxing (Jenna, Charity, Ashley, Jason)
We have a tradition of playing Minute to Win It at every family reunion.
Jenna and Casey always do the preparations for all the activities to be done.
I laughed and laughed.
It was so much fun.
Thanks Jenna and Casey for the great memories.
It was super to be together and have such a great time.
