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.
