Campbell Family Reunion

Yowza am I behind on my blog! This family reunion of Boyce's immediate family happened the beginning of July. Boyce and I were in charge, which, I'm not gonna' lie, was a little stressful. We chose the destination of Bear Lake because we could actually walk through the house we chose and because we knew it was a popular family reunion spot.

We all arrived the Sunday after the 4th of July. Really the pictures will have to tell the story of the family reunion!

First, nothing like a game of "Minute to Win In" (hosted by our very own Lindy Lou!) to get things started that Monday!








Tuesday was our first lake day. Thanks to Ty and Megi for bringing their awesome boat, water weenie, and inner-tubes to make for a fantastic lake experience! In addition, some of us rented a jet ski that day, and we also rented out one of the water trampolines. Grace kind of liked it. She was a bigger fan of the jet ski, and so was Connor.


This is pretty much where Connor camped out the entire day. :)
Who knew this could be so much fun?
Wednesday we went to Minnentonka Caves, which were pretty cool.




And let's be honest, hanging around the house was pretty fun, too. After all, it had a hot tub, a home theater system, a playground, and lots more. The kids and adults were pretty entertained.


Ah, cousin time. :)

Connor LOVED Aunt Lindy!

Sleepover in the theater room.



A little spa time!



No trip to Bear Lake would be complete without going to Pickleville Playhouse. A bunch of us went to see "Who Shot Juanito Bandito," which had us all in stitches the entire time. Such a great show! I think Rinez developed a little crush on Juanito, so we had to get a picture with her and him after the show. :)




I don't have any pictures to show for it, but we sure did go on a ton of milkshake runs! After all, Bear Lake is known for its raspberry shakes. Raspberry marshmallow was actually one of my faves. :)

Thursday was another lake day. The weather was a little overcast, but that didn't stop everyone from having a great time.


Ethan and Connor lovin' that mud!



We also made some time for family photos in our awesome Campbell t-shirts!




And on Friday morning, true to form, we had our Campbell Family Talent Show, which was a hit!

Gracie showing off some gymnastics moves.
"Give me a little kiss, will ya', huh?" Grace continued to perform this many days after.
I don't think we'll ever forget cute Atley's shimmy!
Oh, Taylor, the latte boy!!!
Contrary to what it might appear, I (we) am singing, not yelling.
A little Pete the cat, just walkin' along, singin' his song.
And of course, the kiddos goin' on a tiger hunt!
Here's a picture of the house for one last memory!


Oh man, did we have a fun week! Yay for family reunions!
