My mom planned a huge Hooper Family Reunion for the 24th of July, and then my siblings and I hung around a few days after. It was nice to be with my family on the day my miscarriage started, although Pmc wasn't at the lake with us. Luckily this time around I was only 6 weeks along so it wasn't as big of a deal. Don't get me wrong - any miscarriage is hard to deal with, and this one was too - but it was just a little easier than the previous one because it was shorter.
Cousins and step-cousins.
Old Ephraim's Pizza is as big as she is!
Endless games.
Arc and her step-cousin Ap.
Tubing with Uncle Hdhe
More games.
These two are cute pals. Poor Lmze fell during the 3-legged race and Cpc just wriggled his foot out to keep going trying to win. Silly boy!
2nd cousins games.
Bear Lake Raspberry Shakes of course
Sweet Lmze helped these two get all set for their 3-legged race because they REALLY wanted to participate!
Aren't they sweet with each other?
No Bear Lake post would be complete without a picture like this.
Lots of life-jackets
Wiped out again.
I so wish these cousins lived closer to each other.
I love these grandparents of mine. They're still going strong.
Chaotic meals.
During the family "olympic games" Uncle Hdhe convinced someone the stack of Ding-Dongs on their head was falling, so they lost. He got a few in the face for it, but our team also won in part because of it!
I'm happy to share that I totally rocked the slinky challenge!
The girls rock the tube - grateful to my mom for teaching us all how to have fun!
Great-Grandparents and the Grandkids and Great-Grandkids.
Cpc did really well at the paper bag challenge - he had to pick them up with his mouth without touching the ground with his hands.
Cousin love. Arc might have been a little done with all the attention at the end of the week.
Eyre/Greene family.
All the grandkids who made it.
Love your bum rockin' that paper bag challenge Aunt Ace.
These kids loved trying to find all the tic-tacs all over the ground after the tic-tac challenge.
There was some serious food at this reunion.
Uncle Hdhe rocked the tic-tac challenge.
I love watching toddlers test each other out.
Since we were all at the cabin my mom decided to throw a "birthday party" for all of us and bought us a Marzipan cake. We couldn't have been happier! She addicted all of us to Marzipan early on in life.
