Blake Family Reunion ~ Day 1

Just after we got home from St. George. We hosted the annual Blake Family Reunion. Brad and I were in charge of it. It had a very low budget that I think we ended up making really fun!

We were lucky enough to have the Young Blakes staying here at our house which meant we had brand new baby Isaac here. He was cuddle a lot! Kaitlyn loved holding him.

We started off with some backyard games. The Taylor's Bean Bag game is always a big hit. Julie brought another game with saltine crackers tied to everyone's waist and then you try to break the other players cracker off with a swimming noodle. It was really fun. Then we had a huge parachute! Lots of fun was had.

Then the Adults had a turn and man did that get wild!

The parachute made for a lot of fun!

I think Uncle Dave got the prize for the best game. He brought Bobs train! This was the biggest hit with the kids. I dare say her was dubbed the favorite uncle at this point.

That night we had a magic show. It was kind of windy so we moved the show to the basement. Our Bishop is a magician on the side and did a fantastic show. Everyone could not stop talking about how great it was!

All ready for the show!

Kaitlyn making a milkshake in newspaper!

Bryan's hand getting cut off!

Matt had the longest turn to be the helper. He got to help change the flowers from yellow to red.

Got terrified when he opened this can and a big snake popped out!

But fear was quickly turned to all smiles when all sorts of colored tissue paper started to come out of his ear.

It's not a reunion without Grandma's famous fishpond!

That night we had a movie in the backyard! Dave brought a popcorn machine that was a huge hit! It was so fun to all relax on our camping chairs and blankets and have fun!
