The next morning was our "Family - Amazing Race" I can take very little credit for this, because Shelby had set this up for her ward YM/YW so she twisted stuff around to make it work for our family. What a girl! (I owe her big time, especially since I stood her up TWO mornings this week for walking... I didn't hear the alarm, or her phone call! SORRY!) But the amazing race was lots of fun. We split into three teams and performed things such as... stilt races, frisbee throw, bean bag toss, dice game, potato sack races, etc The best was at the end when each team had to pick someone to eat something sweet, sour, salty or spicy. They didn't know what they were when they chose... and were not excited about eating a 1/2 of a 1/2 gallon of ice cream, a lemon, a bowl of sunflower seeds or a hot hot pepper. The following video is of that act. Yes I am the one dying laughing... probably because I wasn't shoving a pepper down my throat. Andy didn't love that he had to... but I sure got a kick out of it. (Later my brother Dan got back from hunting, saw an extra pepper on the counter and asked if he could have it... he ate it in two bites... on purpose... and liked it!)
We also did all the regular stuff at Bear Lake... like swimming, playing at the beach, hanging out, etc. We made time for a craft project, but the hit of the weekend was our new balloon launcher. We went through two coolers of water balloons and everyone had a blast. It could shoot close to 500 feet... Luckily there were no serious injuries - a few large welts left on people... but everyone still seemed to enjoy trying to catch them!

The kids participating in our Family History Activity. Thanks Mom for all your preparation, it was great to be reminded of our ancestors heritage and faith. What amazing sacrifices they made in their lives... we should all remember that we have truly been blessed because of their strength and foresight.

This looks like it's going to be a belly-flop to me!

Your reunion looks so fun. Family is the best and I am glad you guys had a good time. I hope your first day of school is going well. I'm sure if it is like mine it is a little too quite.

Hi Angie!
Thanks for posting on my blog! Yours is great. Looks like there is a lot of fun in your family! And, yes, I have one of your vinyl statements on my fridge "Simplify". (I think you have that same one?) I love it and it always reminds me of that goal! And, I have a larger one that dear Allison gave me a few years back "All Is Well". Between the two of you I should be okay!!! Thanks much!
good times, good times. Thanks for everything Angie, it went off flawlessly!
