Val Laws Family Reunion - July 2013 - #5

Super heroes to the rescue!

My genius sister Jesse created this fabulous super hero treasure hunt based on the Avengers for all the younger cousins. It was so fun that all of the adults trailed along and watched. My girls wore their costumes everywhere for the next few days.

Bike Parade

RIP Shelob

In the midst of the family reunion we discovered our tarantula died. 

Austin played Night Storm on the piano. 

Nyah gave a lovely eulogy. 

We put him in a box (and then in the trash).

Sad.

Going to the zoo

Note: Most of us went to the zoo, but we split into our small groups. My older kids went with others, so I only had my 3 younger girls with me which is why most of these pictures are of them.
