Loveridge Family Reunion

Oh how I do look forward to our Loveridge Reunion every other year. And so much thanks to Reva Beth for the INCREDIBLE amount of work she puts into it every time!!!! We love the "science stuff" she does. This year we figured our blood type. A+ for me--didn't know that before AND Reva Beth is a pro at finger pricking. The boys and Chad weren't there for this--I wish they would have been,,,no way Spencer would have participated, but Cam would have---Chad's a maybe.

I guess Hannah doesn't like the sight of blood.

Treasure hunt in the shredded paper,,,always a fav for the kids.

Gettin' ready to look for the loot.

Lots of crafts!!!!

Bean bag toss.

And of course lots of jewelry!!! This is my aunt Carolyn,,,who is quite the jewelry maker in her own right! I think every woman up there ended up making a mother's/grandmother's necklace. We also did a bunch of scrabble and YW pendants and earrings. It was heaven for me---Chad really appreciated Carolyn telling him thanks for watching the boys so we could do our girly thing. Yah,,,he had the boys by himself for 4 hours Saturday morning. Then in the afternoon when we were getting ready to leave I stayed for another 3 hours making more for the late-comers while Chad took the boys home. So thanks to my wonderful hubby for not complaining or rolling his eyes even once (at least he didn't let me see/hear it).

Our bums got sore,,,but it sure was fun!!!

Grampy finally getting some breakfast.

The mighty pancake man.

mmmmm,,,hot chocolate.

Cooking some ham.

Cousin Tiffany sent these darling journals that we stitched together. The kids had a blast gluing stuff on the cover and filling out the inside...thanks and hope to see you next time around.

This is when we first got there,,,the boys were so excited to be camping.

Well Loveridges, it was so much fun and hopefully next time California schools won't start so early so the Cali cousins can come. Love you all and thanks a ton Reva Beth.
