Family Reunion

The Grange Brothers always have the family reunion at Strawberry, the 3rd weekend of July. This was perfect timing this year, because we had only been out camping one other time. This is really rare for us, but it has just been a crazy year. Anyway this was the first year that Alyssa was able to play with the cousins and really enjoy herself at the reunion. Here are a couple of pics that I took. I was not very good with the camera this time, sorry there are not more photos.

These are pics of Alyssa counting her money. Every year we have the same game for the kids. We get sawdust, and put change in it. The kids then have to dig through it to find all the money. This comes in really handy since next we have a kids raffle that they can buy tickets for and put them in to win there favorite prize. Alyssa wanted a sand set that Grandma had brought so bad. Needless to say she must have her mothers luck, because even though we put 10 tickets to 2 in the bucket; Alyssa's name didn't get pulled. I knew we should of had Dad doing the tickets.

So Saturday was the big reunion day ( we went up Friday night and camped til Sunday). Anyway, there are a lot of games, food and fun. Alyssa had had her share. I was going to go in and get some dishes done in the trailer. Alyssa wanted to stay out and play. Shane's cousin offered to keep an eye on her for me. Well after I got the dishes done, and things pick up in the trailer I came out to find my daughter full on in a big dirt pile. And she was loving every minute of it. Needless to say, she was SO TIRED!! I let her play for a little longer then was going to take her in for a bath and jammies. Thought I better get some good, dirty pics before we washed her clean though. You can tell she has had it and was not in the mood for photos.
