This year I got to go to girls camp with my girls. I am not in the Young Women's, but since I had 2 girls going to camp they thought I might want to go. I had so much fun getting to know all the young women in our ward. The leaders that went to camp were so much fun. We were laughing the whole time. The theme of camp this year was Ancored in Christ. All the wards had to name their ward a boat name. Our wards boat name was USS Happiness. Sis. Waters did an awesome job putting everything together. She is so creative. I am so glad I was able to go to camp with my girls. I am sure I embarrassed them taking pictures all the time, but now they are glad they have all the pictures. One of Ashley's 10 hour projects was making a slide show to watch at the party after camp. She did a really good job.

Set Sail Geneva (1st stop Hawaii)
Doug and Lisa and Kevin and Ana were in charge of this years reunion. For the past few years they have been telling us that they want to go on a cruise for their reunion. They didn't want to just have it at Geneva, like everyone else. We would just smile and think. we'll be having it at Geneva. With 1,000 dollars to spend, it would be mighty hard to take 70 people on a cruise. This reunion was called "Cruise Geneva". I didn't think they could pull it off taking us all on a cruise, but I was wrong. When we got there they had us sign in and we received our t-shirts and agenda. The kids went to make them selves a reunion pillow case. We then took family pictures. Our first stop was Hawaii. We ate hawaiin haystacks for dinner. We had a hula hoop contest. I wish I would have entered I was the hula hoop champ when I was in grade school. I didn't know if I could still do it. I tried after everyone was done and I actually still was pretty good. Chase must of got his moves from his mom.(JK) After the hula hoop contest they had a limbo contest. We then played a game, Two lies and One truth. Dave and his siblings did this game it was really funny to watch. Dave had to make people believe that he wanted to have more kids. I think the funniest truth is that chocolate licorice gives Norman gas. I thought that it was Andrea or Kevin. I would have never guessed Norman. I learned at this reunion that DAve's brothers and sisters are really good liars.
The picture above is the game Two lies and One truth. This is Dave trying to convince everyone that he wants to have more kids. The person that really wanted to have more kids was Zona.

Texas
When we woke up we were in Texas. We had Texas style french toast for breakfast.
We all piled into a school bus and traveled to Minnetonka Caves. The bus ride there was pretty funny. The girls were singing girls camp songs all the way there. Who would of ever thought we would all fit into a school bus. The caves were pretty amazing. I almost forgot to tell this funny story. When we were going into the caves. My girls and my niece asked if I wanted to use some of Kendras lip gloss. I said no, and they ended up convincing me to use it. They said it was the best lip gloss ever. I put it on and I thought. It's alright, and they all start laughing. They asked me if my lips were numb. I thought oh crap, so I started licking my lips to get it off. My lips and my tongue became numb. My niece works at a dental office and she gets the dentists left over numbing stuff and plays jokes on people. Luckily my mouth didn't stay numb for to long. That was pretty funny Kendra. Just wait one day I'll get you back! My kids are going to have some good memories of this reunion.
We stopped at a park on our way home and ate our sack lunches. When we got back on the bus I think we were all worn out. Alot of us took a little nap on the way home. It was a lot quieter than on the way there.
When we got back from the caves. The little kids found things in the sawdust. The men played horse shoes. Some of the kids and adults tried a little ropping.
Mexico
We arrived in Mexico in the afternoon. We had beef burros for dinner. The kids did a pinata. We had the auction. The auction is one of my girls favorite things at the reunion. Doug made a video to watch of the past reunions. We roasted marshmallows and starbursts around the camp fire. It was a fun night in Mexico. Adios Amigos
Last Day at the Reunion
On this day we got up early and cleaned up. We knew we had a very long drive ahead of us. We stopped in Logan to do some wash, and to clean up the motorhome. Dave decided he wanted to empty the sewer. I have helped Dave empty the sewer a million times. I usually just sit in the bathroom and let all the water drain down the toilet. This time was different. Dave knocks at the motorhome door, I open it and he hands me the sewer hose. I am like, what do you want me to do with that? He told me that this is how my brother in law drains the sewer out by sticking the hose in the toilet. I was a little apprehensive at first, but I take the hose and I stuck it way down into the toilet. He asked if I was ready, and I thought I was. The hose was so powerful it flew out of the toilet. I was still holding on. I was drenched with who knows what. My sisters motorhome bathroom was all wet. The funny part is I didn't know how to tell my sister Suzie abot it. When we got to my moms house to drop off the motorhome, my brother in law asked so, did anything happen this time? I told them what had happened and my sister started laughing. Her husband had done the same thing to her a couple of years ago. She told me she has never helped him empty the sewer ever since. We left my moms late that night and we drove to Flagstaff. We got there at about 5:00 in the morning. We slept a little bit and then woke up and went the rest of the way home.
Lagoon
Every other year before the Tueller reunion, we go to Lagoon with whoever in Dave's family that wants to go. It has been a tradition for us for the last 4 reunions. The kids always have so much fun there. My favorite part about Lagoon is the evening musicals. I remember my mom saying that was her favorite part, and I am already saying it. This year they just had a bunch of different songs from all the different Broadway shows. It was pretty good.
The kids came off from the Cliff Hanger soaking wet.
