Meet Your Family Tree~

LeBaron family reunion was this weekend, we only ended up going just for yesterday.  We got up to the cabin in time to eat breakfast with everyone.

The activities they had planned were great!  First, they had rocket building.  Wrap paper around a PVC pipe, end of a snow cone cup for the tip, tape wings on and there ya go!  They had this super cool contraption that you put the rockets on, pumped it up with a compressor and with the push of a button, the rockets SHOT off!!  The kids could've done this all day!

This girl.....  Doesn't everyone wear a "twirly dress" to the cabin???

And bare feet???  

I hardly saw the big girls the whole time we were there!!  Lo and behold, they were doin' girly things like DIGGING FOR WORMS behind the cabin!!

Rock-a-byes with Daddy

Mini marshmallow eating contest~ I think he got 85 in there??!? *gag*

Flower crowns for the girls!  Working on her fine motor skills.

This was a fun one for the older kids, leather journal covers!

And for the littler ones- necktie snakes!!  Genius!

So the theme was "Meet Your Family Tree."  The kids walked around to different rooms of the cabin and learned a story about their ancestors.  It was a wonderful idea!  They got a sticker for each story they heard to put on their family tree.

...or their arm.

Once they got all their stickers, they received a candy stick^^^ 

and one of these rope little pull toys.

I'm glad the kids have such a rich heritage and they're learning about their ancestors.  I love the LeBaron family, I truly feel blessed to be a part of it!  It's definitely been different since Grandpa LeBaron has passed, but Grandma just has such a fantastic spirit about her and genuine love for each and every member of her family, whether through blood or marriage.

We're sad we couldn't stay the entire weekend, but love the time we get to spend at the cabin with our family!
