The Murri Family Reunion

We spent the weekend of August 6-8 in Ashton, Idaho, at the Murri family reunion. This is definitely one of the events that we look forward to every year. The Murri family knows how to have a great time! This was Tyson's first time coming to this family reunion and he really enjoyed it.

Here are a few of the highlights:

RING TOSS

Every year we have the famous ring toss tournament. This year Grandpa made separate boards for tournament play only. It was kind of a big deal.

MURRI PALOOZA

We decided to do something different this year. Aaron, Britney, Amber, Che', Tyson, our cousin Austin and I got together and planned what we called "Murri Palooza". It consisted of a series of events where five different teams with all the family members competed for the gold. It was a lot of fun!

Saltine cracker-eating contest (Doesn't it make you want to drink a giant glass of water?)

The tube run

We sure do know how to entertain ourselves!

The belching contest

Amy won, no doubt about it!

The river rock run

Aaron painted five rocks bright pink and a member from each team had to go and get them out of the river. It was pretty crazy!

CRAFTS

One thing that has always been fun at the reunion is the craft that we do. This year we did a little block with old pictures of Grandma and Grandpa. They turned out really nice.
(Pictures to come!)

FAMILY HOME EVENING

We always have a family home evening together. This year we did things a little differently. The evening was full of questions for Grandma and Grandpa about their childhood and their past. It was a lot of fun being able to learn so much about them.
