Diehl Reunion Grand Finale

The last of the Diehl reunion posts!  We finished the reunion off with a bang.  After Miles party we enjoyed another monsoon storm on the porch swing and then the cousin folly games began.  

Some of the Hancocks and Whitmers
Measuring for the watermelon seed spitting contest and Cody is recording.  We take our games seriously.  I'm proud to announce that Charlotte won the spitting contest for the second year running.  Proud mom moment!  The boys couldn't believe it.
Cute babies got the trampoline to themselves for a few minutes.  It was adorable.

Lily is so cute!  She loved playing in the mud and rain.


New events in the pond!  First we ran timed races around the pond, then we got in.
Dad has an irrigation pipe at the top of this hill.  If you're good you make it all the way into the pond.  They played on this for a solid hour.  Cody and Marti were the fun ones and did it with all the little ones.



Man Cody cracks me up!

Madi

Charlotte

Olly

Marti

Cody even gave twin rides!

And Marti fished them out!

The look on Olly's face says it all.  It really is little boy heaven.

Sweet little Lily!

The grass plugs the kids helped with last year came in well.

Thanks to Cai there is even a kid-sized kayak Charlotte was pretty good at it.

Abby made it in!  I think she won for best sliding style or something.  I can't remember Olly's prize...maybe golfing?

And Olly too!

Charlotte finally let Charlie have a turn.

The contests lined up for the awards ceremony.
Prizes for everyone!
We are the champions!  It really is so fun and cute that dad plans all the events and the kids love it!  Let's do it again in 2 years when the Hancocks come again!
