PACKARDS...BIG, LOUD, AND OBNOXIOUS

So we did it. The Packards got together and MADE SOME NOISE! Unfortunately we were right in the middle of a massive CANYON, and there were some roads blocked by rockslides, yikes! Too much cheering and laughing, I guess. So basically we just played games for four days. We had some amazing food, thanks to Mom and Dad, and got plenty of sun! Here are some greatest hits:
Phil beat Grandpa in chess!

"I can take an armful and make a treat..."
I'll let you wonder if she's got anything on underneath...

priceless expressions from Marlys during "Who Am I?"...a game where we learned all about our favorite Aunts and Uncles and their injuries and unique experiences from WAY BACK when they were kids

 

Uncle JD showing the kids his scar on his foot...and Lollie being TOTALLY grossed out

Uncle Mark got caught enjoying his "fond" memories of playing the lead role of a romantic play

Grandpa's "talk" with the teens

 

Adam getting overwhelmed by the gross baby food on the way to the Starburst...poor guy

 

Tiffany getting the feather stuck on her lipstick that she was supposed to be blowing...I'm not saying she's a cheater...I'm not saying that...

 

Getting ready for garlic...

 

recovering from garlic...and mourning that she's not getting any "action" any time soon from Uncle Del

Lyndon learning why no one messes with Uncle Mike's girls, especially with water balloons

Kids doing cereal box puzzles

 

Stacking golf balls...

Practicing flexibility...pulling muscles...

Even EATING FISH!!

CUTE fun with Stella on the river!

No one should have to be sat on by Dad...

The championship round of the Make-A-Million tournament

Forming a "girl-wall" so Rachelle could change into her AWESOME homemade tye-dye shirt

So obviously the reunion was amazing. Lots of laughs, lots of games, lots of food. We like to be loud. We LOVE each other. Can't wait for the next reunion.
