This year my parents were in charge of the McCleve family reunion, which is my Dad's immediate family. There were 150 in attendance and 50 were under 8 years old! It was a lot of fun and great to get to see everyone there. We enjoyed great food, horseshoes, late night games, and lots of catching up. We also enjoyed going out to dinner with the rest of the adults Saturday night. We weren't able to attend the reunion last year because McKay was born 2 weeks before and it was amazing to see how much the kids have changed since the last time I saw them! Some aren't kids anymore!
Friday morning we had an Amazing Race. We divided everyone 8 and older into 9 groups and mixed up all the families. Each of the 10 'original' children (except Aunt Connie who couldn't come this year) were at a different location in Show Low that had some significance to the McCleve family growing up there. Dad started them off with a puzzle - something always found at a McCleve family gathering. As each group finished their puzzle, they got their first clue, which took them to the different locations in town. Once finished and back to camp, each group had to line up youngest to oldest (the line up for Christmas morning at the McCleve home) for Dad. The winning team got peanut M&M's and the rest got suckers. :) I think everyone had a great time and enjoyed learning more about what the 'original 10' remembered and visiting places in Show Low they had only heard about. And the 10 enjoyed reminiscing about growing up in Show Low.

Looks like a fun, creative reunion. We sure missed you camping this year.
