We had our Darrington reunion this weekend! Cody, Mia, and Kenny joined Casey, Kendal, and Peter Friday afternoon at Dirkies to fish. Mia, Cody, and Kendal caught fish. The kids thought it was funny that Cody's fish swallowed his hook and he couldn't get it out. That evening we all joined up at Brett and Vanessa's (minus Sarah and a sick Bryker) we ate some yummy grilled pizza and the adults played a game while the kids watched Trolls.
Saturday we started our morning back over at Brett and Vanessa's for breakfast. Afterwards we went to Rock Creek park for family pictures. It was about like I expected, some struggles, a bit of whining, loads of wiggles, loads of sweedish fish to bribe the kids; but I'm sure we'll turn out some great pictures.
When we finished pictures we headed out to Hagerman to 1000 springs to swim and have lunch. Alice had her first experience in the pool. She enjoyed it for a while, and took a break for a bit to nap. Peter stole Alice's float for a bit and went around in it. (insert eye roll, sigh, and oy) He also happily played around with cousins. Kendal wanted to do it all. She swam everywhere, went of the diving boards (high dive included and another dive ending in a nice belly flop), went on the rolling log, and played around with cousins.
We ended up at Casey's parents Satruday evening. The kids played to their hearts content and the boys dug a pit so we could roast some pig (aka pork roasts). We had some smores and games outside also.
Sunday we went to church. The Raft River ward boundaries have changed so it was a different vibe attending church there, but good nonetheless. The kids happily grouped up and went off to classes together. Some of them even went up and sang with the kids during sacrament meeting. Sunday afternoon we ate our roast pig and the kids played some more. I did a tin foil boat competition with the kids and they did a craft with Vanessa. Peter chose to have his birthday cupcakes over the weekend so after asking all day for his present and cake he got his wish.
Sunday night we sent off the rest of the cousins and stayed back with Cody and Mia. (Thanks for putting up with your extra clingy companions over the weekend Cody and Mia - you're troopers - just experience for your little one eh ; ) This morning Casey and Cody patched up their parents roof. Peter happily built his new Lego's from Grandma and Grandpa D! The kids played the day away which included games with Aunt Mia, sprinkler time, Lego's, and outside time. We headed back home late this afternoon so the kids could go to Track practice.
As always it was a wonderful weekend with the Darrington clan! It's a lot of late nights, active kids, good food, amazing family fun, and wonderful memories made!
