I Can Do Hard Things - Munns Family Reunion December 2012

We were so lucky to enjoy a Munns family reunion just after Christmas. There was a total of 63 people present - all of Daniel's immediate family - 22 adults and 41 children. Yikes! It was a total blast!! Our theme was "I Can Do Hard Things" and we tried to focus on how we can live in the world but not be of the world. That we can make hard decisions to be good, honest people and always choose the right. 
There were many scheduled activities and lots of unscheduled time to play and visit... Here is a run down of activities we enjoyed...

A day at Wild Florida, of course! 
Some very late nights and a handful of sleepovers here and there.
My twinner boys sporting their reunion t-shirts.
Lots of pictures!! Plenty of all the grandkids, just the girls, just the boys, just the brothers, just the sisters, all the couples, etc... 



 

Our cutest little Ives with her cousin Soph being so reverent during one of our devotionals. 
(Lasted about 30 seconds) And Jackson attached to Jett's hip.
The bounce house and the bouncy slide were a huge hit! If ever Ivy would go missing, you'd find her in the bounce house or on the slide. When I asked Jack what his favorite part of the reunion was, he said it was the slide. Daniel enjoyed it too. 
We were in charge of the family Olympics which included a 30 second walk, races for the little ones, piglet catching and a pie (donut) eating contest. Other activities throughout the day were a fishing contest, skeet shooting, volleyball and polar swimming (


Sunday evening we had a little get together with Daniel's dad's side of the family and here is a picture of all of the cousins that were there. 
New Year's Eve was a real treat with some fancy face painting!



Here, a canoe trip turn into a swim in the lake. And the little girls dressed up for a fancy photo shoot.
This boy was in heaven with so much cousin time.
Of course we had a few girls nights out!!

The New Year Eve fireworks show was a real delight!
