Family Reunion at Crooked Creek

Brian's extended family on his mom's side (the Yoder's) had a family reunion down at Crooked Creek Camp here in Iowa. (For those who know my last name was Yoder, and yes, we are very distantly related) Brian's mom planned the weekend and did a great job organizing everything. I had never been to the camp so it was fun to see where Brian went to church camp as a kid.

The camp is an hour away, we went down Saturday morning and had breakfast and talked with some of the family. Brian's Aunt and her family came from Louisiana and hadn't seen Molly before and last saw Nora when she was under two, so it was fun to spend some time with them.

In the afternoon Molly napped and Brian took Nora out fishing and tried to take her swimming. The day was pretty cold and rainy so Nora was an ice cube after ten minutes. She still had fun.

That evening after dinner Jeannie had a pinata that she brought for everyone. Nora thought it was the best thing ever and still talks about it. Jean had the kids do one and then the aunts and uncles do another..it was pretty funny to watch. Below are some pictures of the pinata event.

The reunion was on the fourth so when we got home we put the girls to bed and then watched the Coralville fireworks from our front yard.
