Williams Family Reunion

This past weekend Travis and I made the trek up to Logan Utah for a family reunion on my dad's side of the family with his brother (my uncle) and sisters (my aunts) and all our cousins on that side of the family. My aunt Lani was in charge this year and she made it like the T.V. shows amazing race and survivor. We got clues throughout the reunion and we had to figure out the clues in order to find the next destination we were going to. We were also split into 3 teams; yellow, green and orange and we had challenges that we had to complete as a team.

The first day we went up to the Logan UT aquatic center and had 3 water related challenges. First we had judged belly flop and biggest cannon ball contests, then a timed water ring toss using those little plastic rings that sink to the bottom of the pool and you have to collect them as fast as you can. Then we had a kind of horse shoe kind of toss thing (it's hard to explain, I will try to get a pic later). So that was our first day here are some of the pool pictures I have so far...

The next day we ended up at a small lake/pond and we had to make a boat out of cardboard and someone from our team had to get in the boat and paddle out to a canoe and get a flag and paddle back. So our team decided that it would be easier to just make a kind of surf board because we had to cover our "boats" in trash bags so that they would not sink and a surfboard is easier to cover than a big boat so here we are making our boat. Travis willingly volunteered to be the one to get in the water, what a trooper...

We all had bandannas with our team colors we had to wear at all times

My sister Amanda was on the orange team and she had a little trouble in the beggining getting out to the canoe.

After the boat race our next clue lead us to a family fun center. We went mini golfing, go-cart racing, and arcade shooting.

At the end of the course you know how they have those ski ball set ups and you can get extra points, well travis hit his ball about a million times and he could not for the life of him get it in any of the holes so he just threw it, it still took him a couple tries! HA!


Arcade shooting, this was cool, they had a huge screen and you could choose all kinds of shooting games like hunting or target practice and such.




Our last clue took us to another family fun center were we did laser tag and cosmic bowling.
