First Annual Wesel Family Reunion

Since two of us are in Boise now and that’s more Wesels in one place than anywhere else, we did our first official Wesel family reunion the first week of August.

We knocked the torturous “No one wants to do this, but we haven’t had it done it in 13 years ” activity out of the way first.

Family Pictures!

The kids were mostly well behaved though we did have a few meltdowns.

This is my FAVORITE!

Other activities that were a little more fun were the water park:

Yes, he cheated.  By sniffing.

And my own personal favorite, The Move the Cookie Down Your Face and into Your Mouth Event.  This was HILARIOUS to watch as people contorted their faces in all kinds of ways to move the cookie.

We had some late night fondue at the Melting Pot downtown.

We spent some time at Aunt Jane’s too and hardly any of my pictures turned out well-except for these two cute ones.

I loved this one of the Boise hills. 

I’d say we did pretty good for our first reunion.  Our air conditioning did go out for several days and we did miss the U.S. women’s gymnastics team win the gold, but overall we survived those very tough challenges.  I’m sure everyone cannot WAIT to do it again next year!!!
