Reunion Fun!

June 24, 2011-  We started our Crane reunion by having a flag ceremony.  All of the boys were so excited to help raise the flag.  We said the Pledge of Allegiance together.  Then Vince spoke to us about the members of our family who have served in the military.

My mom bought fabric markers and pillow cases.  The kids were each given a pillow case to decorate with the markers.  The kids all worked hard to make their pillow cases unique. 

After the pillow case decorating activity, we drove up to the orchard and had a picnic together.  After eating, we went for a short walk.

I was in charge of games during the afternoon.  We played Duck Duck Goose, Partner Tag, and Car and Driver.  We then had Wheelbarrow and Three Legged races.  I think the kids had a blast.  The above picture shows my mom, Blake, and Calvin in the background, but Taylie and Savanna are doing really well at the Three Legged challenge.

My mom made dutch oven chicken and potatoes; it was delicious.  After eating we were all excited to make S'mores!  This is a picture of Dave and I waiting to roast marshmallows.  We love S'mores.
