Schaffer Family Reunion 2013 (Cont.)

Today was the day of the family reunion.  Everyone was to show up by 10:00 to start pictures.  We got ourselves ready for pictures and I wanted Jamie to do Rachel's hair for the pictures.  I love what she did to it.

So once everyone got their hair done we started to get pictures.  Rachel of course wasn't willing to be very good during the pictures so we didn't get any really good family pictures.
 This was one of the best we could get.  As you can tell Rachel was being shy today.
She sat in these flowers and so this is the best we were able to get of her.  It was her idea where to sit and so we just went with it.

Grani & Bop with all the great grandkids  Yeah it was rough getting them all to look at the same time. So we got what we could get.
After the pictures we started the talent show.  Almost all of the kids on our side of the family did a talent.  Rachel wanted to sing and so here are some pictures and the video's of her singing her songs for the talent show.
I love you song!

Best of Friends

 All the guys in our family decided to do a lip sync as their talent.  It was so funny.
 Here they are all getting ready for their big show.
Singing their hearts out.  Scott's eye's wouldn't stay on his chin and some of the hats wouldn't stay on.  They sang the song Barbie Girl and Send me to glory in a glad bag by Voicemail.
Here are the video's of those two songs.

Grani then wanted all of our family to sing Love at Home.  It was alright but we didn't practice so it could have used a little more help.

 Grani read a story that was hilarious about getting older.
The end of the talent show was all the "B's" did a tribute to Grani & Bop from poems that Aunt Brenda wrote.
After the talent show we all got to fill our bellies up and then it was time for the kids to do all the activities.
 Rachel getting her 1st bag from the fishing pond.
 She was pretty excited about it even though she wanted to be in the water.
 Super Hero Glasses from the 1st bag.
 Her is Rachel getting her 2nd bag of goodies from the fishing pond.  I let Uncle Ty take over getting the bags because he is taller than me.
Rachel was so excited about this baton from her 2nd bag.
This is the pinata that the kids got to hit.  After they get it open they get a little bag of candy but then Grani has them go on a scavenger hunt and they get to have another bag full of candy.  We get all the games done for the kids and then it's time for the big kids and the auction.  We got some really good things this year but we decided that we each need to not bring multiples of the same thing because the bids don't go up very high when there are multiple things.  After the silent auction it was then time to gather up everything and head home.  We were one of the last ones to leave because of how the camper was pulled into the driveway.  Scott had to change his idea of how he was going to get out so that we wouldn't scrap the sewer system.  On the way home Rachel got to have her own movie theatre.
She was so excited that we got the sun out of her eyes.  We had a wonderful weekend and camping in the camper was so much more fun than sleeping in a tent.  ;-)  Grani does such an awesome job with the family reunion that we love going.
