YODER REUNION - SATURDAY

Saturday was such a fun-filled day...there was food, art projects, food, more bounce house bouncing, food, the 'Yoder Reunion Games', food, puppy chasing, family pictures, more food and it all was wrapped up with a birthday DQ ice cream cake.
Can everyday be like this?
Grandpa and Grandma Yoder


Scott's cousin Staci
She looks more like Brooklyn's mom than I do...

can you see the incredible resemblance?

Ummmm....lets just say this is their 'practice dog'
Its only a matter of time!

Alex LOVED little Holly!

And, did I mention there was food?
Bounce House Fun


More fun for the kiddos


Meeting of the minds...
getting organized for the Yoder Reunion Games
Nick and Staci were the 'Games Committee'

The Games: Volleyball, Timed Child Puzzle (put together by adults), Horseshoes,
Tug-o-war, Obstacle Course and Water War.
It ended up being too cold for the water war. Maybe next time?

There was more than just bragging rights on the line....

TIMED PUZZLE


VOLLEYBALL
HORSESHOES


KID'S TUG-O-WAR
Riggs wanted to go help his sisters...maybe next year, buddy!

Ready....
Go!


I gotta say...after watching the guys, I was almost glad not to be up for that kind of physical activity yet. But, then my competitive spirit got the better of me and I was kinda bummed.
However, when the collapsing of bodies began...I was once again glad.
WOMEN'S TUG-O-WAR


THE OBSTACLE COURSE










FINAL TALLY OF POINTS
King Pins won....yes, that was my team!

FAMILY PICTURES
Staci had a family friend take the big group shots.
Then the cousins decided they needed a different location for their pictures.
Really, its not a Minnesota Yoder Party until somebody is on a roof!

Brookly did NOT like her Daddy climbing up there...
