Family Reunion 2015 - Misc.

While we had scheduled fun during our reunion, we also had some much needed down time at the house.

The kids loved "The Sandgren Store."  Each family contributed money, and my sister-in-law, Christine, spent all year finding deals on toys and prizes for the kids for this reunion.  The kids earned fake dollars to spend at the store by being helpful and performing kind acts of service.  We have never had so much help making meals and cleaning up after meals.  The floors were always swept, the counters sparkling, beds made, stuff put away, etc.  Such a good idea.  Each evening the kids got to shop at the store with the money they earned.

One evening we made S'mores.  Yum!

Liza's marshmallows were cooked just a wee bit too long and she ended up losing one (or was it two?).

When evening came, the kids loved hanging out in the hot tub.

This water was dirrrrty when these guys got out.  Had to drop in some chlorine tabs to kill all the nastiness.

Dinner time meant more cousin time.

We always try to take pictures of everyone at our reunions, since this is the only time during the year that we are all together.  Here is the whole group.
