Gundy Family Reunion

McCall, Idaho
Love the place, love the house, love the family...as usual, it was a blast!
Here's a little recap for memories sake.

Boating
*Unfortunately every time we went out, we forgot the camera.  However, that does not mean we did not have a super fun time while on the boat.  Every time I go wake-boarding, I forget how much I really enjoy it!  Caleb got up and really started to enjoy it as well.  And the boys just loved being on the boat and jumping in the water in between the wakeboarders.  I can't wait to go again.  Thanks to Mom, Dad, Tyler, Adria, Scott, & Misty for hauling those all the way to McCall!!

Gundy Cook-off
Secret Ingredient: Basil
I learned that I really like pesto and garlic can really give food a kick if you put enough in :-)
Mmmmm, yummmy!

The Great Race
*sorry to the other team who I have no pictures of ;-)
Our 3rd one so far put on by our wonderful, fantastic, creative parents.  We had to capture all of the below things on camera within 2 hours and then produce a video presentation that night:
-5 Random acts of kindness
-Pictures of bugs, animals, monuments

-Word puzzle about our parents' past
-Trivia about McCall Idaho 



-All team members fully submersing the lake
-Someone on the team getting eaten by the lake monster


AND...
my favorite part of all...
-making our own fire...without matches.
This was about the coolest thing I've learned to do in a long while.  
A big shout-out to Jason for teaching us all how to BUST out a fire!
So take a look at that beautiful match-free fire.  Ya, we made that!

Oh, and on a sidenote, our team won although we forgot to take a picture with the trophy!

Making Ice Cream
This was such a cool idea by my Misty.  So creative and fun!
Voila, you have home-made ice cream!

Mini Olympics
Water Balloon Launching was part of this.  Standing at set intervals and catching the launched waterballoons with a towel.  The grankids had a blast being able to shoot these...so did the big kids!  Great job making these Josh and Mindy!


Being with Each Other
Of course, what are family reunions all about!


Can't wait till next time!
