Ahh yes, our favorite part of Memorial Day weekend - the traffic
Are we there yet?We did finally arrive, and had a very good time
Lookout - there's a Redd (Calley's maiden name) alert!!
The splash you see is Tyson and there's Chad following. The water was VERY cold so we mostly enjoyed the weather on the beach
The brave/crazy ones ")
Paigey with Free Willy.
Jen, Em, Billy, Lucy and Kaisa
Calley and Abby
We had a hot dog roast Saturday night
Calley MADE Abby wear this bib - she was soooo embarrassed! Ha ha! Her Mom IS hot!!
We had homemade ice cream for "big D" (Calley's brother Luke's saying) Saturday night - here's some of us girls enjoying some (please excuse my sick picture)
We didn't have sewer hook ups here, just water and electricity so we had to be careful about how much water was going into our holding tank. Summer had a nice warm bath outside using our auxiliary shower (in Em's "rubber tubber")
Nellie washing her hair
matching shirts :)
We had a baseball game too. Druschba hit the ball so hard that she broke it in 2!!
Lee was the "naughtiest" pitcher - here's Billy running to the 1st base tree while Lee gives direction.
Addison riding Lucy, who had an unfortunate accident; notice the "white trash" bandage job on her left hind foot
There was also some paint balling that took place - here's Billy in his Gilly suit. Some lady saw his and actually asked him to pose for a picture.
before the games began
Then while they were gone we had a "dance party" headed up by Jen
Braden has quite some moves as well.
The dance party ended with Bailee fanning her Mom with a fir branch. There's a video of Jen trying to get Billy to dance with her after the paint ballers got back, but for some reason it attached at the bottom of this post - make sure to watch it :)
And of course the s'mores
MMmmm
?
Here's the "peculator". Grandpa had to get it out and "peculate" the water over the fire for some hot chocolate for the grand kids
Here they are enjoying the hot chocolate, complete with spray whipped cream

Real time! Good job thoroughly documenting everything. It was a blast. And after looking at all these pictures I've decided I need to do a bit more running before the next reunion. Or "use my Wii Fit" :). Sick!
Thanks for sharing, reminds me of old times! It's amazing how big our family has gotten.
I....LOVE it! Love the shoes, love the bag, love the hat....love everything! I was having flashbacks from the pictures with all of the little kiddos sitting around the table!
Looks like I'll be joining Calley in the running before the reunion... That dance party looked AWESOME.
Love your pictures! The beginning of summer fun!!
