Let The Games Begin!!

We kick started the family reunion with a family Olympics on the front lawn.

Ryan was the “Cool Uncle” of the day.  Somehow his job of mowing the lawn turned into being the Tractor Model with the kids.

Thanks Ryan!

 

 

And of course there always needs to be a Nerdy Uncle

The kids were drenched before the games even started!

 Uncle Rich gave everyone a tutorial on how to use the marshmallow shooters.

First the kiddos gave it a go…

 Then the Sister in laws  gave it a try…

(I tried to hide the fact that I’m half pirate)

IMG_5504IMG_0629

Next it was the Brothers turn to give it a shot

IMG_0640

Various techniques were tried…

The women were very impressed by it all…

and soon the targets became each other.

Next up were the water balloon games…

IMG_5637

Did I mention that this family is EXTREMELY competitive??

IMG_5641IMG_5694

It makes me chuckle even now remembering all of the couples whispering different strategies around the kiddie pool.

This was my favorite moment caught on camera.  It is of Ryan and his sweet wife Karla.  She was laughing so hard she went down.  So Ryan leaves her to make sure he gets his balloon!

 Who knew Ron is part pirate too!

Next up was the ball toss.
