Family Family Family

We had a fun family reunion which was held in the Swaner family's back yard in Smithfield. Grandpa and grandma swaner made us our own 'tent village' and even bought a big swimming pool for the kids to play in! Grandma worked really hard and made a treasure hunt for the kids. They thought it was pretty cool, she actually buried a real treasure chest! And yes, we ate more than enoughyummy food. The kids loved playing night games and Derrick slept out under the stars with Skyler and Zac (while Myah and I took over the tent!). The highlight of this family reunion was that Shawn and Amy drove all the way from Phoenix with all five of their kids to be there. It was really a treat to have them since they are currently moving to India for a few years. We'll miss them. Myah just loved playing with their daughter Abby who is very close in age. Between having Abby and Kira, Myah was in 'girl heaven' which is quite a change for her! What cute cousins! Also, Derrick's aunt and uncle (Paul and Carma) from Portland area dropped in for a visit (as well as Clark and Marilyn). They made us swedish pancakes for breakfast that were to die for!
