Family Reunion August 2012

Wee...Mommy
Well, we had our annual Schroeder Family Reunion this past weekend. This year it was held at the Grandy Creek/Concrete KOA campground, about 30 minutes from Burlington, WA.

Thanks so very much to my Aunt Lei for all of the marvelous planning and for the use of your house. Since Julyn and I don't have an RV, and tent camping isn't really our thing, we stayed each night at my aunt's house, then each morning drove back to the campground to spend the day.

This place was great! They had a pool, mini golf, a huge jumping pillow, trails, bike riding, magicians, rubber duck races in the creek, big campfires, a little store, and lots of room for the kiddos and Ella (the dog) to run and play!

Thank you Aunt Pam for planning all of the crafts and activities for the kids to do! Emily loved painting a birdhouse, making her own stepping stone, and using her new dog paw print stamps. 

We all had a blast visiting and seeing each other, eating good food, laughing, playing in the annual cribbage tournament, and playing Bocce Ball. 

Emily loved swimming with Mommy in the pool for over three hours on Saturday while some other family members drove up to Baker Lake with Ella. We all had fun making smores over the fire, and the cousins had a blast playing on the HUGE Jumping Pillow!  Emily tried to get in some practice on her bike, but it was a tad difficult on the gravel roads even with Grandpa's help!

A couple of my older cousins, Tyler and Stephen, and Tyler's girlfriend Suzannah, were only able to come over one of the nights, but it was great to see them and enjoy their company as well. 

Enjoy the MANY fun pictures from our reunion! We all had a wonderful time with family and loved ones!
