Family reunion

 Every year in June we head up north for the Adams family reunion.  It is nice to get out of the heat of the valley and spend time with extended family that we only get to see once a year.  This reunion used to be a full weekend camping trip since I was a little girl but as everyone has gotten older it has now been changed to a one day get together.  Everyone arrived at nine o'clock and had fun enjoying the beautiful yard....
 The girls quickly threw off their shoes and headed to the tramp and to play on the playground and the seesaw.

 Hunter caught lizards all day long with the cousins and spent the rest of the time hanging out by the creek.
 One may have somehow come home with him.
 Papa and Hudson just hanging out together.
 Aunt Lisa had made stick horses out of pool noodles so the kids could have stick horse races.  They loved it!!
 More fun on the seesaw...

 Great grandma and grandpa Adams kids that are still living...
 Every year as part of the reunion we do a family raffle.  Everyone brings items preferably homemade and then you purchase tickets and put your tickets in the items you like and then we raffle them off.  It is always a really fun part of the reunion.  My kids love it.
 Then of course the pinata...
We kept busy with activities all day.  Good food, lots of visiting and watching the kids play with their cousins.  Such a fun weekend.
