Peck Family Reunion 2008

We had the Peck Family Reunion at Star Valley, WY this year. Everyone was there except for Kami and Frank, who we missed terribly, but we still had a lot of fun. Jason and Robyn planned it and did a fantastic job. The first night we were there I froze. I wasn't prepared for it to get so cold at night. Luckily, Bret came up the next night and brought extra blankets and sleeping bags.



All the grandkids on our hike to Periodic Springs.
Jeff, Kaylee, and I in front of Periodic Springs. The water came out of the mountain. Neat!

ANNUAL SURVIVOR

Jared and Candi were in charge of our annual survivor game. They did an awesome job. Chad and Keysha won but it was a good battle.

Jeff will be so glad I posted this picture! We had to get the rubberbands around our neck by wiggling our faces only. Towards the end we could use our partner's face. After two days of camping, the girls got major razor burn. Ouch! The boys had to hold the string behind their back and the women (and Todd) had to eat the doughnut off the string without having it fall.

The men had to hold the buckets out in front of them and the girls had to empty their partner's bucket and try to fill someone elses. If you dropped your bucket, you were out. The concept was good but it turned into quite the water fight and ended in an all our water war.







In the egg race we had to run around obstacles with the egg in the small of our back then drop it into the bowl without braking it. As you can see, the drop seemed to be the problem.


Of course, the highlight of the game was the boy shoe game. All the boys had to loosen their shoes. They got in a circle facing each other and then had to wrestle each others shoes off. As soon as you lost both your shoes you were out. Bret and Dad were the last men standing but Dad won out in the end. It was fun to watch! Look at Bret's knees. Jeff's are still sore.
