Can We Take Any More Family Fun..I Think So

Thanks to much planning and organization on several of my aunt's part we had a family reunion in Kansas this week. Eric and I were only able to go up for one night and one day, but we had a great time.
We caravaned with Dad and mom in one car, Ryan, Adrian and the boys in another car, and Eric, Jack and I in the third car.

The reunion took place in a huge barn that had tons of space. It had plenty of rooms and fun things to do. It was awesome to see most of the family there.
So, for the most part there was plenty of space, except few of us were taken to other peoples houses to make enough space. Eric and I and Ryan and A went to a friend of my aunt's house.

Her and her husband were super nice and we had a great time. Eric and I got a good laugh when we saw our bed...

It was a little short...
Until we discovered that the pillows were just in the wrong place.


The following day all of us went to my Aunt and Uncle's farm...Hickory Creek Farms
They have this great farm that has so many fun things to do, including a hay ride, train ride, and a way cool corn maze.
I don't know if this tactic was exactly fair...but it didn't work anyway.

We made two teams and each team got a map with this picture of the corn maze on it. We had to find the clues and then get out of the maze before the other team. It was so fun!!!

After much fun on the farm we made our way back to the 'big barn' and had a great lunch then some free time before...of course... family pictures. (The Toliver family with only 28 people missing)

After we took lots of pictures it was time to go swimming. We didn't even have to swim in a pond, we had a pool.

Here are some great videos of something my Uncle John showed us that he did when he was a kid...it was called the fly swatter...OUCH!!!!!




Since Eric was a little bigger than some of the cousins it wasn't quite as painful...they couldn't throw him as hard.


Poor Zach though..




Fun, Fun, Fun!!!


On the way home, mom rode with Eric and I. So Eric sat in the back with Jack. He said he was getting cold so mom sweetly gave him a plastic bag to keep warm.


We had a great time and again...


WE LOVE FAMILY!!!!!
