We had four glorious and fun days at the Barry Family Reunion in Heber, AZ.
Each family had been challenged to make a video to show at FHE. It was such a riot to see what everyone had come up with. That will definitely have to be a tradition. (Thanks Allison!) We all created tie-dyed shirts with our Barry Family Reunion name ironed on. (Thanks Alli!) We played 'paintball wars' with giant marshmallows dunked in flour. We had a 'talent show'! (We aren't the Jim Barry family!) We had a sing-a-long with Alli playing Beatle songs on the guitar. We played water balloons. There were many games of badmitton and volleyball, walks, zip line rides, archery... We got up close to a little dead mouse and humingbird and a real LIVE tarantula! He even let us pet him!
We found a closet full of dress-ups and made a music video. Who knew how much the guys would get into it!

Just as Devin was preparing our lunch (fajitas) out on the camp fire, it started pouring rain and then turned to hail!!! The fajitas were delicious anyway, especially because of Devin's sacrifice!
Our Big Crazy Barry Family-so loved and so dear.

AWAY we go!!!

I got five of these little scooters to give to our grand kids for birthdays and such. The problem is that they were delivered while John and I were in CA. so by the time we got home, Brooklynn and Greg had already assembled them and broke them in! I can see why! They are a blast to ride! All you have to do is turn the steering wheel to make them go and they can take up to a 200 pound person on them so I can even ride them!!! If you want to have a good time, come and take a scoot on this ride! Here's Devin, Greg and Bastian!
