Smith Family Reunion

Well a few weeks ago we had the Smith family reunion here in WA. Every year it is either here or in Idaho. People started to arrive on Thursday mainly the Holladay Clan. They stayed at our house and put up tents in the field. Some of Kyle's siblings also stayed in tents here too. Along with Kyle and the girls they love camping and loved camping with all the cousins in our yard.

On Friday, we spent the day at Tj and Danielle's home. Where they put 2 of those inflatable water slides up for the kids and the adults all hung out and visited while watching all the kids. They also did a pinata.

Saturday was the big day and was at our house. We ended up counting approximately 80 people here. The kids swam, played on the big toy and tire swing. Played with each other and just hung out. There was a lesson on raising the bar which was our theme this year. All the kids learned about the stick pull game, Went fishing for Candy and just had fun. Gerene and Brenda did all the food with help from the family. Saturday night was the big feast. Barry had some friends that do BBQ come and BBQ for the family it was delicious. We did our annual salad pot luck everyone brought a salad for everyone to try. They were all good also.

Saturday Night was the best for all the Dad's and a few Moms (ages ranging 18 to 34) They had a spit ball fight that went on for hours. All around my yard. One of the kids went out on the porch and we could hear them say were playing go away. It all started when people were going and getting Slurpee's at 7 eleven because it was hot. They sell these metal Slurpee straws so all the cousins bought them. That is what they used for their spit ball fight. I didn't join them it's not my thing. It was fun to watch my husband playing with his sister and brother and cousins. After the kids were all in bed. We all went down to the fire and just hung out and visited and enjoyed the campfire. It was the best!! We can't wait until next year. See you all in Idaho.
