Day 4 (Family Day)

On Wednesday, we took a break from the parks and had a family day at the houses, we swam, played games, and had a lot of fun just being one big crazy family.


It always cracked me up that my kids were just as excited to swim as they were to go to the parks.  Both the houses we stayed in had pools and the kids had a blast whenever we were home long enough to use them.

My Mom and Wendy were in charge of organizing some games for our family day.
They did a great job.  The teams were drawn out of a hat by the 4 team captains,
Brooklyn, Elaine, Kaymbri, and MacKenzie.

The games included a family version of BINGO, and then some minute-to-win-it type games. 

Dustin even made a score board on the TV so we could all see who was in the lead.
Team Kaymbri ended up as the winners, but we all had a good time.

After the games we went outside to try and get some family pictures.  Lets just say trying to get 33 people to all smile and look at the camera at the same time is pretty much impossible.  Especially when 16 of those people are 10 or younger.  But at least we have proof that we were all there!
Here we are, all 33 of us.

The Wells' Family

We tried to get a picture with the spouses but this was the best one we got because, right after this shot. . .

. . .was this shot because. . .
. . . of this.  Elaine had an accident and decided she needed to RUN to find a bathroom.  Unfortunately, she ran in the complete opposite direction of us and the houses, and she is very fast!

After pictures, we sent all the kids to one house and the adults stayed at the other so we could play more games and have some kid-free fun. Another GREAT day!
We had a lot of fun playing pool, but lets just say that as a whole the Wells' are no pool sharks!
