Stone Family Reunion- Rollerskating

After family pictures we had a picnic and then went rollerskating at the rink in Northstar Village. There was so many of us we took over all the cabanas on one side of the rink.

Sisters are the best!

Cheese!

Aunt Star and Emily Minson were so nice to skate with Ashley

They only stopped long enough for me to take one picture of them together, then the were off again!

Stone Family Reunion- Misc Fun

Swimming at the Northstar Clubhouse

I dont think any of the cousins slept in the same room 2 nights in a row... they played musical sleepovers. They were always tired because they stayed up talking.

The Berry's brought 2 boxes of the most fantastic donuts ever! There were the yummiest flavors ever: grasshopper pie, boston creme pie, carmel apple, oreo, peanut butter and jelly, raspberry tart, and many, many more! We ended up cutting each into fourths so we could try more than one!

One night at the "village" after making smores the kids connected all of their "glow-stick" necklaces together so they could jump rope. They had a blast!

Village Security kicked us out at 11pm... i mean really, who lets their kids stay out that late?!?

Stone Family Reunion- Swimming

After Fishing we explored Boca Reservoir and found that it was really warm so we let the kids go swimming in their clothes. We definitely won some cool-mom points today!

Stone Family Reunion- Independe Day

Happy Independence Day!

Aunt Crystal bought these cool glasses for all the cousins

CJ went crazy with all the temporary tattoos that Aunt Leslie bought

I have the best parents ever!

I have to admit... if i could have gotten my mom to carry me i just might have too...

The 4th of July Rocks!

Stone Family Reunion- Kiddie Parade

The Northstar Village hosted a 4th of July Parade. A good portion of the parade was made up of the Merrill & Nina Stone Family.

Our addition to the parade... we know how to party.

say "firecrackers!"

"follow me mom..."

So cute!

CJ always seemed to have a sucker in his mouth. I think Aunt Leslie is in league with a dentist...

Cousins are the best!

Stone Family Reunion- Fishing

On the first day of the family reunion my family and Kristen Larsen's family got up at 5am and went fishing at Prosser Reservoir.

It was absolutely gorgeous at sunrise!

Ashley only wanted to use the power bait, she was not impressed with having to put the worms we bought on the hooks.

CJ was tired from going to bed super late and getting up at 5am, so he spent ALOT of time fishing from a sitting position.

The only thing I caught was CJ's fishing pole after he accidentally let go as he was casting. His line got caught on my hook and I reeled it in and was able to save his pole! It was awesome!


Who needs boys to go fishing?!? (sorry CJ)

Such a beautiful view!
