Cousins' Retreat

This Cousins retreat i will tell you now was the best one i have been to yet. Well Just the most exciting. Kristin was sent to the hospital in an ambulance and i kinda got left in the lake. other than that it was fantastic. We had to new cousins come and they happened to be my sisters, Katrina and Adriana.

ok sorry if any of you don't know what cousins' Retreat is it is a social gathering of all the cousins 12 and older on my moms side and we just have fun at my aunt and Uncles property in Duchesne. If the cousins can't make it then they are are well just more welcomed the next time they come. sara hadn't been there for 2 years because of Europe and all.

ok now i'll start with our drive up the the lake. Our whole family, well not all of us but most of us, started up ,or down, and we all sang songs that kolbie would switch once the CD was over including the "sisters CD" "Wicked" and " MOMs Mixes1,2,3,4,5,6..." The go o forever i tell you. THis was really fun. The family wouldn't fight at all so it was a very pleasant drive. unlike some years.

After a very long 2 hours we finally arrived to Maddy and jody cleaning out a trailor filled with some of maddy's stuff. so Knowing the Astles and our willinngness to help so much we helped empty out the trailor in the hot sun.It only took a few minutes. it was really fun. Then all of us sat on the couch for quite some time wich seemed like 2-3 hours before people arrived. right then Uncle peir Started ooking us his famous family wide Hamburgers. I don't know why they are so delisous but they are. He is a Fantastic cook. i am sure we all had at least 1 and a 1/2 so ya.

The Masquitoes Were in full force this year and so we didn't do the camp fire. but we still did Really funny games that if you ask me about i WILL teach you. Before I tell you about those i will tell you aout the injures we had like the twins flipping and/or tipping. Kims 12 bug bites in 5 minute that were Huge.Kristins wisdom teeth and then sent to the hospital after being hit in the jaw after a wipe out on the banana, sara had sunscreen in her eye the whole day on the beach, and i think thats about it.

OK!!!1 now to the game night. jen and andy had 2 games planned out the "Bowl Game" and the"clue Game" These games were the funniest games on the planet to watch, exspeicially around midnight when you are loopy any way.the bowl game as fun but not as fun as the clue game. Lets just say Uncle pier can shimmy like shakira and brian is very discriptive with out words. This games brings out the inner acter in everyone. It is really funny. During the game but not part of the game Ema ATE a Dragon Fly it was gross but at the same time really cool.

Boating was way fun all except for the ambulance. There was nothing unusual about that we had all gone through it before with sara a few year before.Kristin is fine she justt went into shock when she got hit in the jaw where her wisdom teeth were. The banana was a blast like usual.so ya .

So ya this was the most exciting, wonderful , best expirence i hve had all summer. Thanks Uncle Pier and Aunt Jodi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
