Monson Reunion 2007

The "Lewis and Clark Adventures" Family Reunion will be talked about for quite some time. The highlight for our family was definately seeing Elijah rock at Fear Factor! He ate cow tongue, some sort of intestine, and moved fish from one bowl to another with his mouth. Infact he liked the fish thing so much that none of his team-mates (pictured here) got a chance to help bite the fish themselves...I think they were okay with that. I was so proud of my boy! It was a blast to watch - in between the gag reflexes! Elijah's team won 1st place, he loved every minute of it. (See his gold metal?)
Jacob is our quite the breakdancer. This morning he told me that he couldn't decide what he wanted to be when he grows up. It was between an archeologist, fireman, or breakdancer. :o) This photo is at the family dance. There was an Indian war (or mating?) dance, the crowning of the Indian Queen and Princesses (Grandma, Alaine & Luetta), karaoke, and tons of food.
Karaoke anyone?

During the Reunion we visited Ft. Walla Walla where we were all challenged with a scavenger hunt, organized by Denea (Eldon's sister). The kids loved it.
For the Ft. Walla Walla tour, we were divided into groups. Eldon, Hannah and I were in the same group, alon with Acacia, Paul, Eliza and Michaela. (Denae, Grandma M. and Alaine are missing from this photo, but they were also in our group.)
Lance found himself by the stream with all the kids several times during the Reunion. The kids discovered an apple tree with fallen apples, so they cleaned up the ground and threw the apples into the water and watched them go down stream. Totally fun!
Oh, more Fear Factor fun! In this challenge the teams were to gather all the worms they could with their toes and put them in the hands of their team-mates. Eldon and Elijah had a good time competeing on this one.
HERE"S THE FISH CHALLENGE! Uh-oh, I see somebody using their hands.

I appreciate everyone who attended and helped make the reunion a hit. We'll see you next year!
