This year we returned to T Bar M Resort and Conference center. The Buttercup room once again was home to lots of catching up, Puzzles, stories, etc. We gathered in the morning for hugs and chatting before heading our separate ways for lunch. Our family ventured to the Gristmill as we do every year. It is my favorite restaurant on the river and great food. This year we had a bonus surprise with "Buddy/Alvin" the squirrel. He was friendly and not shy to let us know he wanted some chips. The kids each fed him chips one at a time. After lunch, we shopped at our favorite cooking store and got some infused olive oils and fresh canned olives. We quickly headed back to T Bar M for family games where Gamee and Grampee took the lead. We played all kinds of games that left us all laughing. Games included: Pantyhose Bowling, Have you Ever game, knocking over cups with balloons, team puzzles, etc. They are always so creative in coming up with the games. Next, Charles and I organized a kids treasure hunt. The kids had to run all over the resort grounds with clues for where to find the next clue. At the end, their "sweet" prize was hidden inside the piano in the meeting room. They had a great time working together. After dinner, the family gathered for a sing along with hymns and a time of sharing. Finally, the auction closed and winners were announced. Although this year was smaller in population, it was still a great time of sharing and love. We cannot wait till next year!
