Family Fun the Wilcox Way!!!

This past weekend was our annual Wilcox Family Reunion at my aunt and uncle's home in Crystal. I decided to make this event into the kids' first camping experience by staying in my brother's camping trailer. Upon arrival on Saturday, my aunt and uncle had the camper all set up with running water, electricity, and beds already made! My first thought, "this is MY kind of camping!!!" The kids loved their camping experience, but even more they LOVED the pool! It took no time for them to get into their swimsuits and begin doing cannon balls off the diving board! We had so much fun hanging with family...especially Grammy and Papa!!! We were thrilled that Grammy felt well enough to join us for the reunion. Sloane was sure to give her lots of kisses to help her feel better.
Russell received cowboy and Indian figures from Aunt Marilyn. He had fun playing with Great Papa.
Water baby on the move!
The kids love playing with cousin Katie.
Russell insisted on trying on flippers.
Swimming in the deep end.
1-2-3 CANNON BALL!
Russell was hilarious posing for pictures in mid-air.
Russell had fun spending time with his cousin Nolan.
Sloane and Grammy enjoyed slushies.
Another treat...fudge sickles!
My hero! Corn hole champion 2nd year running!

So glad to see all your fun-doings! The kids look like little fish. I laughed yesterday when i saw your blog and your background..we still have the same taste! So impressed you went "camping". Scott's still trying to convince me of it. Maybe next year, I tell him. Wishing you well. Miss you lots, as always.
