Sharp Family Reunion 2012

This year we stayed at Duck Creek Village for our Sharp Family Reunion. It was Josh & I's turn to plan it and luckily it turned out well. Our trip was filled to the brim with fun things to do and we kept busy the entire time! I took pictures gallor and you can have a glimse of our vacation through photos. First up....Zions:
Here we are eating lunch before going on our hike. Zions was super busy!!
We took a shuttle bus through Zions which took us to our trail head. Beckett stuck his head out the window on the way to check out the scenery.
On our hike up to the bottom of the narrows.
 We are so Zenified.

 Next up....Fishing:

One of the big traditions is to have an 'Amazing Race/Competition' every year at the Reunion. This year Josh & I planned it. The couples were competing against each other in 4 different cateories-Brain Zone, Food Zone, Survivor Zone, and the Endurance Zone. It was a lot of fun. Ryan & Kristi took the gold this year.
 Here is Krisit stuffing marshmallows into her mouth during the food competition. The goal was to fit as many in your mouth as possible. Allan won this with 17!!!
The survivor zone was one of the most entertaining. The couples were given 15 minutes to scrounge aroiund and use whatever materials they could find to construct a mechanism that would funnel water from the top to the bottom (they were able to use a leatherman & twine). Ryan and Kristi won this, you can see their awesome contraption above.
We also did a modified version with the kiddos, this is us with all of them afterwards.
We went and checked out the Mammoth Caves which was near Duck Creek. Beckett & Josh made it all the way through one of them....having to crawl out one end! It was an experience and fun for everyone.
Cheers til' next year!
