Johnson Reunion 2011

We gathered in the mountain town of McCall Idaho for another fantastic Johnson Family Reunion Highlights of an amazing family reunion!
COUSINS! Our little boy is on cloud nine when surrounded by cousins, and this week he was in heaven!! With more cousins than he knew what to do with, he spent most of his time either racing around with them or tackling them to the ground! Happily though, each of them welcomed our crazy little guy with open arms and gladly obliged his every moment with play!

The BOAT This year Grandpa and Grandma rented a pontoon boat to take out on the lake for a day. It was a hit! Despite a few clouds and a bit chilly afternoon, everyone took turns out on the inner tube, bouncing across the waves and "practicing" spectacular dismounts into the water. While on shore, we entertained ourselves with the sand and water buckets. I have to admit that the sand wasn't the most friendly surface to move around on with crutches, but being on the boat was great!



















ICE CREAM ALLEY This memory goes back a long way: walking the streets of McCall, checking out all the quaint little shops, then ending up in Ice Cream Alley for a tastey treat. Grandpa & Grandma treated us all to huge ice cream cones several times during the week and it was delicious as usual!! Huckleberry Ice Cream...you can't go wrong with that!!

TALENT SHOW We had our traditional talent show again this year and had lots of laughs and we got to enjoy seeing how much each of the grandkids have really grown up!

DINNER WITH THE ADULTS All us grown ups got to take a break from the kids and enjoy a delicious dinner together and filled up on conversation about the past three years and our plans for the next three years.

FAMILY CHALLENGES We put together a lot of fun quick games to play and had a blast watching the competitiveness come out in several family members!! The parachute was a hit again followed by a "nice & friendly" water balloon fight!

































CATCHING UP The best part about the Johnson Family Reunion of course is the opportunity to catch up and spend some time with our parents and sisters. I love re-connecting and learning all that is new in their lives but also realizing that all those connections are still there and we're all such good friends!
