We play games, chat, eat, play more games, and then eat some more...its perfect! We each plan activities for the kids and one of them this year was a fishing pond and every time Debbie yelled that it was time to go fishing again all the kids would immediately drop everything they were doing and run as fast as they could to the fishing pond. Here is the best picture I could get of that in action!
In between eating and games the Dad's took all the girls on 4-wheeler rides
And of course we had to have a couple hot chocolate breaks as well in the trailer!
Lexi spent a good portion of the time doing this....
or this...she was good at walking around the camp and making sure every juice box was emptied! 
The adults took turns playing some Minute to Win It games
While the kids dug for buried treasure
and did a little more fishing...
We also did a link game where you stood in order of age and we would have to tell a fun story or interesting thing about the person standing next to us.
It is also a tradition to play the guessing game at the Garbe Reunion. Everyone brings a container of something and we each get to write down our guess for how many we think is in the container. Erika won this big container of taffy for guessing almost right on!
Lexi had fun playing with Travin who is only 10 days younger than her.
Sorry...this pictures are way out of order but I don't have the patience to re-arrange them tonight!! Here is everyone at the table with all the guessing game stuff laid out. There were containers of soda cans, crayons, bandaids, gummy bears, laffy taffy...all sorts of good stuff!!
Debbie gave each kid a backpack to put their surprises in. Lexi loved carrying around her backpack that was almost as big as her!
What a pair of goofballs!
Lexi had fun taking the dog for a walk...more like dragging the dog around!
It is so much fun to have so many little girl cousins all around the same age!
Ahhh...who's cute kids are those?!
Here the kids are trying to catch the elusive Chris Bug!
If anyone needs to get Lexi a present she would love one of these cars! She sat in this car for most of the reunion!!
On Friday night we had everyone dye a t-shirt to wear for family pictures on Saturday. It was fun to see everyone's creations!
All in all it was a wonderful weekend. It rained a little but we just huddled under the awnings and eventually it stopped! We are already looking forward to next years reunion!!
