Mitchell/Harmon Family Reunion

  We were finally able to make it to the annual Mitchell/Harmon family reunion in Spokane Washington. I think this was the third or fourth year running, and due to babies, moving, a new business, and no money, we have never been! We had so much fun with all the family. What was great was that we didn't need to have any planned activities or events, we just hung out and swam and played and enjoyed.

The ladies did some Zumba in the morning and some yoga. We had many impromptu dance parties on the lawn and even got LJay out and to the center one night.
The lake trampoline was plenty of entertainment. We all enjoyed lots of hours playing on it, kayaking, canoeing and swimming.
 
 
They also made a beach entrance to the lake that was a huge hit.
Kaleeya and Taytum were inseparable. They just kind of orbited around each other the whole weekend. It might be good that they don't live next to each other. I have a feeling that they would be trouble....
One morning my SILs put on a little dance/cheer camp. The little girls thought it was great.

At the same time the boys did a basketball camp.
 
My sweet sister-in-law Soriah is a horse whisperer and lead all the kids on horse back rides.
Family pictures happened. We failed to capture everyone looking at the camera, let alone smiling, in about twenty pictures. But at least we tried.

Andi's 7th Birthday

This girl is 7 going on 17. She keeps me on my toes and has enough attitude for the whole family. She is stubborn and hard headed and opinionated. She is also so sweet and helpful and kind and loves to mother everybody. She has inherited my masterful eye roll. She wants so bad to be older than she is. She loves to be in the know and hears everything. Her favorite things to do are make-up, paint nails, and play school. She is great at make believe and would make an excellent teacher some day. She is also so smart. She is an excellent reader and really good at math. She loves to dance and has a very innate sense of rhythm and movement. She's a natural.

For her birthday my sister and her girls were in town, so we had fun celebrating with them. We went to see How to Train Your Dragon 2, enjoyed decorating cupcakes and opening presents.
