Wilde Family Reunion 2011

WFRIP2011. That's Bebe's acronym for this year's get together. IP= Island Park, Id.

I had a blast this year with all my siblings (I include their spouses as siblings, too. So no need to mention them separately.) The kids were mildly tolerable, too. JOKES, they were so cute! I loved watching them all play together, discovering porcupines, wood piles, elastic gun shooter things, obstacle courses and marshmallow guns. Thanks, Brandon and Shan.

We spent a lot of time catching up and riding quads. Dustin took the job of spilling him and Max off the quad, no helmets of course. They turned out alright after Max's 20 minute bout with amnesia and Dustin's grotesque bump on his shoulder. We also loved playing on the jet-skis, and trying to double on the tube. That was a one person tube, by the way. It made for a nice leisurely ride, no bumps and no throwing.

I love getting together with all of my family. We have some awesome childhood memories and great senses of humor. Thanks guys, love you.

You get what you pay for...

I had a busy day today. I ran my 12 k to train for my upcoming torture day. Or, race day, I mean. My cheering squad followed me in the van the last 2 kilometres. I couldn't believe how sweet they were with their GO MOM GO signs and chants. So cute! I came home, ate and showered then off to my friends' house to can a zillion cans of peaches. When I got home, this is what I found:

Oh, and just in case you were wondering, that's my little Elle, not Gene Simmons from KISS. I was pretty stoked to come home to not one, but two superheroes living in my home. Team Iron Man and Batman!

AND, also in case you were wondering, I didn't pay my babysitter. Because DUSTIN was the babysitter.
