Labor Day Weekend in the Mountains

Every year, Labor Day weekend is the Palmer family (Matt's dad's side) reunion. We headed up to the cabin in Christopher Creek, pitched our tent, enjoyed the great outdoors, played games, and caught up with extended family members we hadn't seen for awhile.

Minute to Win It seems to be the hot thing for family reunions right now! We did this game again for our activity on Saturday.

ME!!! Getting cookie (a melty chocolate one) from forehead to mouth with NO hands!!!!

We did plenty of quad riding, thanks to Derek & Kristin!!! We may have to invest in a couple of these babies in the not-so-distant future!! I had a blast riding them and so did the kids!

Saturday evening, most of us headed down to the CC branch for a potluck dinner.

Then back to the cabin for a talent show! Uncle Kevin started things off with "A-Tooty-Ta"

Preston went absolutely BONKERS in the Pack ' n Play!!! He was spinning around in circles, saying, "Ready, set, GO!" and running from one end to the other, falling down then doing it all over again!
