Road Trip 2017: Day 11 - {Big Bear Reunion}

It wouldn’t be a proper family reunion without some sort of take home craft.  My Mom brought white placemats for everyone to decorate with paint and markers.  At first I didn't think I'd create anything, but it looked too tempting to pass up. 


Guessing jars are another family reunion tradition.  Drew once again won – this time a large jar of jelly beans.


The Gardners also seems to win each year.  Emily scored the jar of tootsie rolls.


We had a huge water balloon fight at the park this afternoon.  Two different family members had brought large kits of self-tying water balloons.  Super easy to fill up. 


It started as a friendly water balloon volleyball activity then unsurprisingly turned crazy. 


Robyn and my Mom and hidden big water squirters that took things to a whole other level. 


Some calmer park play…

Lee and Gina played lots of Frisbee with Katie

Today we also learned how addictive my family members can be - Pokémon Go became a hot topic and with enough family members on the app they were able to collect and conquer quite a bit over the week. 


Here some of them are talking Pokémon strategy. 


I have no doubt it would have been something I'd enjoy, but I also know my addictive/competitive personality and I joked with my kids that I'd no longer feed them if I downloaded the app.
