Ellison Family Reunion

For Landon's family reunion we went to Castle Rock Campground. We had never been there before and were excited to try out someplace new. It was pretty cool and we will probably definately go back again someday.

For the most part the reunion was fun. There are still a little bit of feelings between us and one of Landon's siblings that make some moments a little hard or awkward, but it is what it is I guess. Otherwise, except for the fact that Landon's Dad fell and hurt himself again, things were great and we had a lot of fun. 

Here are some of the highlights

*Hiked to Bullion Falls
It was really muddy, because it had rained previously, but a few of us pushed through and made it to the top. It was worth it. Chloe had fun playing in the mud. Bryce lost his croc in the mud but luckily we were able to retrieve it. (this was a real sensory activity for him) He did great though and mostly hiked the whole thing himself with just a little help from Tanner. 

















*Floated the River

*Bryce worked on his Slingshot Skills

*Late Night Poker Games (poker games all day) with the cousins in our trailer.


*Explored the cool rock formations around camp.





*Landon won the Annie Oakley Shotgun Shootout



*Horseshoes

*Scorpion Hunt
The camp ground hosts a scorpion hunt on Saturday nights. Unfortunately it was raining and we didn't see any due to the weather conditions. 

*Lots of fun games including-LCR, Saran Wrap Ball, Food Fear Factor, and a Human Pinata

Chloe had to leave a bit early due to another planned adventure with Grandma Tawny and Saydee. We drove her to Fillmore Friday afternoon. It rained horribly on our way there, so bad in fact that at one point we slid a little bit and hit one of the side barricades they had up for some road construction. We made if safely though and the ride back to the camp wasn't nearly so eventful. 

The reunion was fun. It was well planned out. It's always fun to get together with family.
