Saturday was our first full day of the reunion. The weather was outstanding! We had two major events scheduled and lots of little events sprang up during the day.
To start it off, Ann took a group off on a hike! They had a great time and even met up with Uncle Paul.

| Ann with Kaylee, Abby, Jadyn, Madison and Robbie |

| Off they go with Paul at the lead. |
Our first stop was at Ready-Paint-Fire. This was a ceramic shop in Breckenridge. We'd contacted the owner and they opened at 10am just for our family. Everyone was able to pick a project and for the next 2-3 hours everyone painted. The completed projects were then fired Saturday and we picked them up Tuesday. Here's everyone with their selected item.

There was next to no help for the kids from parents. This was their project and they had their freedom to make it look however they wanted! We won't label these photos taken as they paint so enjoy...
Everyone completed their projects and not a single item was dropped - WOW!!!!!
For a little rest and relaxation we caught the new "CARS 2" movie at the Dillon Theatre. Grandma Helen stayed home and watched Jonah.
 |
| I thought this was a 3D movie...where are the black-rimmed glasses? |
 |
Pretty cool looking bunch of "Dudes"....
Is that one of the "Blues Brothers down front? |
T.J. and Tiffany provided dinner for Saturday night. It was a yummy chicken w/rice that was cooked all day!
 |
Tiffany is pretty happy that the crock-pots worked reducing
some of the cooking work for the evening meal! |
 |
Everyone lined up...who's that at the front dishing it up...
wasn't he supposed to be one of the cooks? |
After dinner there was time for some volleyball, basketball and horseshoes out on the parking lot and next to the house. Lots of fun for all that participated!
 |
Piikea demonstrates the proper technique
for setting the volleyball |
 |
Mollie has the form down and actually put
herself and Paul in the lead...only for a while though |
 |
Wow, grandma's got it down
and helped keep her and grandpa close |
 |
Paul looks pretty confident,
but was robbed numerous times inspite of great pitching |
 |
In the end, consistent form and endurance payed off as another
ringer is tossed! Now, is that the way it really ended?
We won't tell here, but the look on Grandpa's face says VICTORY!!!! |
After the kids were put to bed the adults had a mean game of "Apples to Apples"
After the dust had cleared Ann was the winner!
The day ended and everyone had a great time. The ceramic painting was the hit of the day!
