"Be Strong" Watson Family Reunion

I love our reunions and all the games, food, entertainment, laughter, and company. The Whizzy's are always the highlight, of course. I made a rock nativity for mine this year. It took me two years to complete because I had to find all the rocks in my garden as I weeded. I love how they turned out, and I put a lot of work into them including having to redo seven of the figures due to runny faces and other complications. I wish I would've kept them for myself; in fact, I stole them from someone during the whizzys and they were stolen from me without a chance to get them back. A lot of people asked me why I gave them away. I wanted to showcase my talent and win the prize for best whizzy of course! And yes, I did win best overall whizzy by a landslide.

Speaking of winning, Zander won one of the M&M jars! His guess was only one off. Grandma did five jars this year and we get three guesses per jar. I haven't won one in a while, but I'm pretty good at it, if I don't say so myself.

After the reunion Becky, Mom, and I stayed at Aunt Debra's house for a few more days just to spend more time together since Becky drove all the way from Spokane. We had plans to go to the zoo and do some shopping, but then we got sick. It kinda slowly went through everyone over the course of the week. So the few days we were going to go out, we ended up staying in watching movies. Then we went shopping and took the kids to the zoo. I will admit I was excited to go to the zoo to see the butterfly house--it's my favorite. Zander even managed to get his first bee sting on his foot.
