Malarsie Family Reunion - Durango, CO

As usual, this year's family reunion at the Durango KOA was tons of fun. Kally Casebier's family was in charge this year and we had a blast (especially because we didn't have to do any planning!).

My little family stayed in this cute cabin -

Brad and I slept in the bedroom with a queen bed. Bentley and Eden slept in the cute little bunk bed room.

And Olivia slept in the cupboard ha ha

Bentley and Eden checking on Olivia first thing in the morning. Apparently Bentley was really sad about something.

The KOA amenities were a huge hit with the kids: Putt Putt, playground, swimming pool, and even a duck race! Several dollars were spent purchasing ducks and the kids were so into it! Ryan and Lenni's duck ended up winning and with their $5 winnings they bought all the kids ice cream. It was very sweet.

At the duck race:

The kids also got to paint shirts. Eden and Bentley love their shirts so much and would wear them every day if I let them.

Olivia was just a happy little camper, and adorable as ever.

Bentley and April's daughter Delanie were cute little buddies. She didn't talk to him too much, but several times we overheard him have nice conversations with her and at one point they were even under the picnic table and he was singing "I am a Child of God to her". ha ha so cute.

Wendy brought lots of old family pictures and we had some good laughs looking through them.

Brad ended up taking pictures of the oldies with his phone so here are some of the gems:

Todd and Patty brought a game they called "Mexican Horseshoes" which was a total hit. We ended up having huge tournaments with brackets and everything! It was actually so much fun and I think this is one of the few things that the whole entire group participated in every day we were there.

We also spent one evening playing several "Minute-to-win-it games" and we had some good laughs.

The pantyhose game got completely derailed when everyone just became incredibly entertained with the pantyhose themselves. ha ha

And aside from all the planned activities, there was just a whole lot of hanging out, visiting and having a great time.

I'm so grateful for my family and the opportunity we have to spend time together and create memories! Until next year Durango!! :)
