Felix Family Reunion

It's funny to call a get together with Jeremy's family a reunion because we all live fairly close to one another and get together whenever we can. But I guess this qualifies because we spend 4 days together about 7 hours away from home at my parent's cabin in Show Low, AZ. I was excited to take them and show them a place my family loves, but I was a little nervous though that we would run out of things to do. Show Low is a tiny town and when my family goes up there, we go to relax and get away, but I think we did manage to find fun things to do and all the kids seemed to have a good time. Kylie was super excited to  show her cousins the place and to bring her "other grandma and grandpa" up there.  

The first order of business is always introducing Massie to the group. Jase has seen Massie before, but this time he loved him. Every time (an I mean EVERY time) he saw him he would point and say "OOOOO" then laugh.

Our activities for the week included:

hiking and picnicking not too far away from the cabin

swimming at the local aquatic center.

Jase gave swimming, especially the slide a major thumbs up

Jeremy took him down once and he was hooked. He threw a fit anytime Jeremy would walk past and not get back in line. I think they went a million times!

We also celebrated Madi's 12th birthday on Thursday with cake 

Pizza

and tin-can ice cream that grandma prepared and the kids had fun rolling back and forth to each other.

Friday was spent riding the 4-wheelers

This was Jase's first time and he loved it. In fact he thought it was so great he fell asleep while riding.

We also played a mean game of kick-ball at a local park which we even got grandma to participate in. My team claimed victory, but I think the other team did also!

It's not a trip to the cabin without a fire and marshmallow roasting.

We enjoyed s'mores and camp fire talk.

Kylie had a blast with her cousins. These three girls were inseparable the whole time.

Jase and Ty discovered this little cubby and loved playing in it. As you can see their favorite game was diving head first into a pile of cushions. 

I think everyone had a good time hanging out, relaxing, enjoying the outdoors and being together. We really missed Zane, Olivia and Adella and wished they could have been with us. We've already starting throwing out ideas for the next reunion and can't wait for it!
