Pearson Family Reunion

Every year my Uncle Dennis plans an amazing family reunion for my mom's side of the family (my aunts, uncles, cousins, and cousin's kids.) They are always so much fun, and this year was no exception. Every year until this year the reunion was at the park near where my mom and her siblings grew up. This year they decided to do something different. The reunion was at Pineview Reservoir. They rented a pontoon boat that they had a tube with and 2 wave runners. And of course, just the water was enough to keep the kids busy.

First we made sure everyone had life-jackets (that fit perfectly of course), and Andrew was happy to demonstrate the perfect fit.

My girls started out just playing in the lake, just in the water and the mud.

When the wave-runner came back in Paul hopped on with Kaylee and went out for a ride, then came back and dropped off Kaylee and went out riding on his own. He was trying to see just how much he could do on the wave-runner he was trying to flip it over. He didn't succeed in flipping the wave runner, but he had TONS of fun.

There was also the pontoon boat, as well as the tube being pulled behind the boat. The kids all loved going out on the boat!

A few people (who didn't like the smell of the lake, and the temperature by the lake) hung out in the pavilion where it wasn't quite so hot.

After everyone was done playing with the boats and they had to be returned it was time for dinner. We had a catered dinner: ribs, chicken, potatoes, corn on the cob, the works. It was delicious!
