The 2007 Lindley Family Reunion was a huge success. For three days all 39 of us braved the cold and the camp food to spend some quality time shooting each other with paint balls and gloating about winning board games. We celebrated Christmas and Grandma's 81st birthday, we caught up with family who live far away, and those we just hadn't seen in a while. It was truly a great weekend. Here's a few pictures that capture a taste of the fun that was had by all.
The most exciting thing about the family reunion was that my grandmother was able to be there! Rather unwillingly, she recently spent much time in the hospital, and recovery has been slow. But she was feeling good and able to spend a lot of time with us all, making the reunion a complete success.
We celebrated Christmas together on Wednesday night, the 26th (which is also my Grandma's birthday). We had to play games just to see who got to open presents first. It took forever to get 40 people to open up their gifts, but we had a great time!
Rachel, Molly, Amy and Jessie playing games. By the look on Molly's face, I'm not so sure they're on the winning team.
Nerf wars raged throughout the weekend. Here's Jason looking particularly thrilled to be in combat. I think he IS on the winning team.
And then we have Grandpa trying to figure out how to get his gun to work.
This is Lincoln. At nine months he is our youngest member.
Thursday was paint ball day. This is the red team, Rachel, Jessie, Lauren, Jason, Caleb, John, Bob and my dad. I think they lost.
Dad, ready for battle.
