Fuller Fest

Every other year, we have a reunion with my family. This includes just my immediate family....which is pretty difficult to get all of us together at once, since there is 10 kids, spread out all over the U.S. But it's always so much fun to get together with everyone. We were lucky that it was during the time we went home for Had's summer break. We rented a cabin in Ashton, and all eight couples, 15 grandkids, and the 3 that aren't married yet stayed under the same roof. It gets a little crazy when we're all together if you can imagine, but it's so much fun! I love all the craziness of it. We also got one of those blow up water slides for one of the days we were there. It was a big hit.

While the kids really enjoyed it......

I think the grown ups enjoyed it more!

All the brothers and brother in-laws started having races- first one down the slide wins. I didn't get a picture of the back of this, but that was probably the best part. There's a little ladder-type thing to climb up to the top, and if you can imagine, 6 grown boys were all fighting and pulling each other down that, so they could be the first one to get to the top and slide down. Then they decided to change things up and race up the slide. It was hilarious!


His cousins Toj, Dax, and Athen playing with Jete. There were so many kids there, it was fun to see them all play together. They were so cute with Jete, they were following him around, making him laugh like crazy. He couldn't get enough of it.

We also had a big marshmallow war. I was terrible at it. I kept shooting them straight down on the ground, or they would just fall out of my gun, but i did manage to get a few good sneak shots in on some unexpecting peeps. It was fun, even though the little kids were better at it than me. We even had a contest to see who could shoot theirs the farthest. I was the picture taker, cuz mine wouldn't even shoot out.

There was a lot of laughs, playin, crafts, and skits.

My little sister was in Jr. Miss this last year, and so the planners of the reunion thought it would be fun/funny to have a little jr. miss of our own. We had to learn a dance (if any of you know me, or anyone in my family very well, you know that we don't dance, except for Bird) . So we performed a dance/fitness routine, had to do a talent, and there was a poise part too.

Here's the performers

Thanks Mom, Dad, Kerr and Zach for all that you did to make this happen.
