so back to the family reunion week...

Aside from all the fun animals, we spent a few hours every day in the river and doing whatever else we felt like the rest of the day.

This is a view from our dock at the cabinsDustyn prooved to be quite the entertainer that week. He was shy at first but came out of his shell later in the week. More to come about that later. You can tell I am not related by blood because I am about a foot shorter than Matt and Deanna :)
And on the last day, we went to the dam and played. Last year we discovered this diamond in the rough and thought we would keep up our new tradition by going here on the last day. There is about an 18 inch spot on the whole dam that everyone takes turns sliding down. Last year and this year, Matt has torn the butt of his pants from sliding which is weird because it is super smooth on this part. It is super fun but kind of dangerous. We saw someone wipeout and hit his head on the cement and probably received a concussion. Then we saw the sign pictured above on our way out. I guess we missed it coming in!!

As mentioned previously, we had lots of fun playing with Dustyn, Andrew and Hannah (Matt's second cousins). Aside from us "big kids" they were the only kids there. Matt and Andrew and melting solder in water...a mini science experiment whilst on vacation. :)
And he also taught Dustyn the necessary skills involved in disc golf. Not only did Dustyn want to do want to play with Matt, he wanted to stand super far away where Matt was instead of close for a tiny kid and he wanted to have as many discs as Matt, not just one. It was super cute!This looks like an ad for Omega putters to me!
And every kids favorite game is Peek-A-Boo with a corona box isnt it? He was carrying it around on his head then I guess it was my turn. And lastly, he was obsessed with drinking my tea. I guess unsweet-dilute-weak tea is his new fav drink! He would run around the table and stop every time to have a drink out of my tea bottle...maybe it was just the bottle, who knows.

**Thats it for tonight...two more post updates about our crazy side trips and crafting to come later tomorrow.
