Family Reunion

While we were in Canada, we had the very first ever family reunion (on my Dad's side). My kids got to meet my aunt and uncles and I got to see cousins I haven't seen in probably 20yrs. It was great fun--hopefully we'll do it all again soon.

Fishing

Most of our time at the reunion was spent by the water--usually fishing. My Uncle Ron took Mike and the girls out for their first taste of fishing!

Tyson wanted to go too, so Dad and I took Ben and Tyson out. They were very excited when we caught a fish (I was too, since I reeled it in).

The kids all loved holding the dead fish--gross. Somehow, Tyson had the best grip (right on the tail), so his rarely slipped away.
After we caugth the fish, Uncle Ron fried them up and let the kids all have a taste. Tyson gobbled down at least one whole fish all by himself.
A Few Other Hightlights (that I have pictures of)...

Jordan and Maddison had fun floating in a boat that was tied to the dock...until someone untied it!! They were floating away and we were all trying to explain to them how to paddle back. Eventually my cousin Shane had to walk out to rescue them! Luckily Kya had got out of the boat before this happened.
Mike, Jason, Kya and Ben went out fishing. It wasn't until nearly an hour later that they realized they didn't have a hook on the end of their rod. That is my highlight of the trip :)
All the kids had a lot of fun just playing in the water. This is Kya paddling on the dock. It was a little scary when Tyson got a hold of the paddle.
The kids also had a good time with all the dogs that were there. This one is named "Cookie".
