Well here we are, we finally made it, after 4 weeks of traveling here there and yonder we arrived in Bend Oregon for the Heid Fitzmaurice Family Reunion. There were 3 Heids, John's Mom Irene, her brothers Fred and Jim. Irene and Jim had 13 children each and Fred had 7. This is why you must rent a ranch the size of a 6th grade camp to get together. This is no ordinary gathering. half way into the week and we have had a major obstacle course race, bocce ball tournament, ping pong tournament, horse shoes, Jenga. There is a photo contest, rocket blasting with high pressure water and 2 liter bottle. Bottle stomping with 2 liter bottle and pvc pipe and a stomp. This rockets were amazing, some traveling 3-400 ft in the air, and they look nothing like a 2 liter bottle when designed by these really over the top group of people. We had a luau, with ukelele music and hula lessons.
Today was white water rafting and the kids stayed behind and made cookies (and grandmas).
A mush ball game, kayaking, canoeing and paddle boards. We went to Goody's chocolate, ice cream factory and learned all about how they made these delicious treats and were given various samples throughout the tour.
One of John's brothers. We are having a great time with this wonderful family. We wish you were here! Our love always, John and Shannon.
