Mendenhall Family Reunion

On Labour Day weekend, we had a Reunion with my side of the family at a vacation cabin near Magrath, AB. We started off the weekend with a Pinata for the kiddos:

(yes, that is a plunger the kids are using for a bat. Desperate times call for desperate measures haha)

....love the mad scramble at the end for the candy...

We had our Magrath 2012 Olympic Games, with 5 events and competitors from 4 different countries.

Discuss and Shot Put (with paper plates and water balloons)

Diving (ping pong balls into cups of water)

100m dash

Group shot:

Dad and Mom

Dallin, Hayley, Jared, Carter, Grandpa & Grandma Mendenhall, Joel

Me, Carly, Lisa

We did alot of quadding, considering there was 90 acres of land with this cabin. Some of my family members had never ridden a quad before and it was so much fun watching them learn....especially the little ones!

We also did some swimming and floating down St. Mary's River. Dallin organized some fun Geocaching adventures, and Joel made the BEST Scavenger Hunt I have ever participated in!! We had movie nights, lots of good food, extended family visitors and, of course, Bubbles!
