Swift Family Reunion: F. Miscellaneous Activities

 We had free time here and there for visiting and lots of fun activities.


We played lots and lots of games.  This is Agnes, Hannah and Penelope playing Tap Four.  And the favorite for adults was, of course, Thirteen Skidoo.  But we also had lots of time for sitting around visiting and swapping stories.  Joshua scared the little kids with a story where the bears in the woodwork come alive to eat little children at night.


James and Talitha.  James was a real trooper, he got sunburned really really bad the first day at the beach but he withstood the pain and didn't complain much.  


Leon and Jacob playing pool in the downstairs game room.  The kids spent a lot of time running all around.


Food, food, food, we had tons of food all the time.  Asher, Scarlett, Agnes and Hannah.


Upstairs balcony where most of the kids slept.  Penelope, Scarlett, Ethan, Asher and Christian.


Julia and Calista in one of the big comfy recliners.  Calista loved stories and got a variety of people to read to her.


Jonathan had a boot on his leg because of an injured ankle.  But he didn't let that slow him down.  He even fell in a fast moving stream on the first day and Christian had to pull him out.


Jim gets the reward for doing the most dishes I think, and also for being the most patriotic.


David grilling something to eat.  There was continuous eating during the reunion.  So much good food.


We had a huge scavenger hunt contest that went on throughout the reunion.  Everyone was in teams and had to take pictures of odd things on this difficult list Nathanael made up.  This is one I took of someone reading a map.  Hannah and Agnes.


I think this was the most unusual picture.  A dog with sunglasses.


Leon with a leaf bigger than his head.  The winning team was Jarom, Paige, Amery and Josiah.  The most difficult picture to get was a snake.  Paige researched how to find a snake and they did it.


Jonathan and Asher.  Our last evening there was a trip out to LeBeau's for the famous raspberry shakes and ice cream.  It was so good.


Agnes, Hannah and Scarlett waiting for their raspberry shakes.  We had so much fun.
