Monday began the official activities of family reunion. The mornings were split up into age group classes, with Emerson falling into the 5-7 yr olds. Oh he made a lot of friends!!! There were cousins everywhere for him to play with. Del and I spent the first morning in the nursery and so we have Evie and some other real little ones. It was such a fun time having the 2nd generation bring their little kids into us and then watching and observing their behavior, giving us some insight into their parenting skills. Such sweet little children.
The afternoon was spent with the main activity being roller skating for the whole group. THat was a blast! Of course, my camera focused mainly on my little grandchildren and family but it was fun to see everyone at various ages, attempting to roller skate.
Games were being played everywhere and at all times. You could see a group here and a group there of card games, little kids playing and adults conversing. The evenings activities always had a nightly devotional based around the theme of 'Love my Tribe'. Debbie and Jim were in charge of those evening activities, which were marvelous!!
Around the campfire later that first night, we enjoyed singing, samores and just a lot of getting re-acquainted with family that we hadn't literally seen in years. I visited, of course, with my sisters and my brother Mark a little - 2nd generation cousins reconnected and started developing bonds and then adults went off to discuss solving the worlds problems. It was just all so relaxing.
By the end of the evening, all were exhausted but content with how the day had gone.
