Derek's cousins were having a family reunion shortly after ours in Michigan and since we had so much fun at ours decided to crash theirs (really they invited us but we may have been a little too eager to jump on board) They were boating and picnicking at Deer Creek reservoir so we decided to take the Randazzle on it's maiden voyage
We fit 6 kids (in addition to Derek and I) in it and had a wonderful time paddling around the reservoir. The kids loved it, we loved it and are so excited to have a boat in the family. I really hope we can put it to good use. We'll probably put it to much more use when the boys are old enough to help Derek get it off and on the van though. I'm the weak link in the chain.
Derek's sweet cousin helped us get the canoe down and snuggled little man as we paddled around with the kids.
We had a wonderful time and almost missed a birthday party Hyrum was going to since we were having so much fun. Hyrum went on the speed boat on tubes and never wanted to get off.
They made the mistake of telling us that they were having a BBQ the following Tuesday so even though Derek was away I packed up the boys and we went. They even had blow up slides and a blow up boxing ring for the kids to play on. Noah got scared when one of them collapsed on him but after seeing Hyrum bounce around and not get swallowed by it he ventured onto it and by the end didn't want to get off.
After all of THAT fun they had a ( get this ) Family Talent show
complete with judges. It was great!! There were so many different acts! Everything from upside down lip syncing
to magic tricks
To synchronized swimming
To stand up comedians and companion piano playing.
It was soo much fun. They even asked me to be a part of it all but I graciously declined. After the winner was crowned we had to head off but we are continually grateful to be welcomed and involved with this part of our family. They are soo great!
Even their family reunion SHIRTS were cool!!
