Snedaker Family Reunion

This year family reunion was so much fun. It was pack full of fun activities and good food. The first activity that we did was a un-birthday party. We had a bubble gum chewing contest, balloon relays, marshmallow eating contest, and a present exchange. It was so much fun.




All the kiddos getting ready to open presents. 14 kids under the age 8, it was a house full.


Balloon Stomp: You try and pop the other person balloon. It was funny to watch everyone attach each other.


Cousin taught Maxten to make funny faces for the camera.


One of the days we had a priness tea (lemonade) party. That was what I was in charge of. I made the cute little paper shoes and got all the decorations. It turn out so good. We did the little girls hair, nails, make-up, the got all dressed up in their princess dresses. We dance, read princess stories, and played pretty pretty princess. Here's the pretty princesses!





One of the other days we made crafts. The little kids made the little pumpkin jars and the mothers painted the wooden boo's. Then that night we had a halloween party. We did a cake walk, decorated apple slices, and had a donut eating contest.


This year our theme for our costumes was Toy Story. Corbin was buzz, I was Zurg, and Maxten was Woody. I made the costumes and I was reminded that making costume is crazy and a lot of work.


One of the other days we held a Snedaker Olympic Games. We all had to make a movie and tell everyone a little about us. Everyones movies were so creative and different. We had a good laugh. We also had to make a flag. This is our lovely flag.


                      We all got t-shirts and now that's one of the shirt Maxten wants to wear all the time.


The whole gang.

                                          

  The competition was not easy. The hardest challenge was a Biathlon, you rode your bikes about a 2 block then got off the bike and ran to a air-soft gun. It didn't sound too hard, but I got off the bike to run I fell down. I stood back up and fell down again. Just from how fast I was riding the bike when I got off to run my legs wanted to keep riding the bikes. It was funny!

      


    
Here is the kids taking a turn at it.

  
Another day we went rock climbing. Maxten climb so good. I thought he would be scared and not want to try it but he did most of the climb by himself. He was so cute!



Trying to be like the big boys!



We also did a talent show. I don't have any pictures but we did music through the ages.  Maxten was dressed up as Elvis, Corbin was Michael Jackson and I was Miley Cyrus. It was fun to see all th wonderful talents everyone had and there creativity.

Thank you everyone for a very fun and exciting reunion. It was so good to see everyone and get caught up. Your a great family!

Wow I haven't posted for a while, this one is a long one!
