What a reunion is for; Angela and Curt visit with "Aunt Billie".
Kaelene gives lessons in lounging to a younger cousin.
It's a relay race, the name of the game is to fill the bowl (one cupful at a time) from the bucket down the hill, on the other side of the sprinkler. Angela demonstrates for Courtney
Congestion at the bucket! Two players from opposing teams jostle for position.
A clear shot at the well. The big challenge is running up the hill without losing it all!
Marnie holds the rope while Angela gets a small participant lined
up to whack the piñata.
A larger participant takes a mean swing, while Marvin judiciously ducks back out of the way.
After whaling the daylights out of it, we decided to let all comers
go without a blindfold. Finally it decided to yield its goodies! That was one sturdy piñata!

Doug had been thrilling the young folk all weekend by taking them for rides on his GoldWing. Here he takes his aunt Mabel (the biggest kid of them all!) for a spin.
We had a campfire/singsong/talent show scheduled for
Sunday evening, but Mother Nature decided otherwise. See the apprehension
on Angela's face as the static electricity from the coming thunderstorm
causes her hair to start to rise! A few moments later the dead calm
air was whipped into a fury as the storm hit and everyone scrambled to furl
their awnings and get under cover!
