Family Reunion

I am so grateful for the cabin and the memories made there! We missed so many of the family that couldn't make it. We were afraid it would be rainy the whole time, but fortunately, the weather held out for us. The sun was out and it was beautiful. Here is some of the adventures this year:

The swing is always popular with the kids. Poor Keira got whacked with a baseball bat when she walked up behind Thomas playing, so she has a nice cut on her eyebrow.

Several of us rode on the 4 wheelers


and the razor

 Ceryn and Teara put a lot of work into the activities this year for a CSI investigation. Someone at the cabin committed a crime, and we had to collect evidence at each crime scene. Each team had jobs, such as a photographer, sketch artist, team captain, evidence collector. One scene had footprints

 Steve was my team's sketch artist

Jordyn collected a blood sample from a bloody bat

 We found a skeleton by the creek

 Jen is holding an index card with hair taped to it

 A rope tangled on a branch

Cleaning up the crime scene by the creek so they wouldn't have to go back

After many guesses of who the murderer was (many said me and Keira, Jen, or Matt and Abi), it turned out to be Keli. She was guilty and didn't even know it

 Kevin took me for a ride on a very rocky trail to Dead Lake- with Jacob and Jay following on the 4 wheelers. It was so fun!

And the lake was beautiful! (Not sure why they call it dead lake)

 Lots of congratulations were given to Uncle Kevin as he had just proposed to Carolyn before we got there! We are so excited for this upcoming wedding in April!

 Love you, Jen

 Several fun games of Scramball. The kids ended up forming their own team and played for hours. We also played our traditional water balloon volleyball and regular volleyball. Fun, Fun!

My sweet Keira

 And all the gang that was there


Until next year, cabin...
To the family, hopefully we will see you all at Kristin's wedding!:)

  1. I am so sad we missed it. Cambria would have had so much fun! I know Teara and Ceryn put tons of work into it and I wish we could have been there.
