Hirschi Family Reunion

The end of July we had a Hirschi Family Reunion and it was so much fun. We rented a house in the La Sal mountains about 40 miles south of Moab. We had lots of fun and we did so many fun activities. This pic of david is the best picture I got of the cool shirts we got.





One of the days we went to the arches national park and looked at all the "cool rocks" as my kids called them. It was so hot in Moab, but up at our house the weather was perfect. we were high enough that the weather was mild and perfect for outdoor play.


Mason and his buddy Wyatt.


My smart brother Jason made the coolest rocket launcher and all the kids decorated 2 liter bottles and shot off the rockets. They worked awesome and Jason is so smart to figure it out. we loved it. Mason was so proud of his rocket cause when it landed it didn't brake and most of them broke on the tip from impact. I made the rocket and was pretty proud of my good craftmanship.


This is my favorite picture taken. This is almost all of the grandkids. I think only 3 are missing Allie, Carter, and Parker, the 3 youngest.


We all had so much fun. We celebrated 2 birthdays and all got to see the newest Hirschi, Parker Jason and Lorisa baby. One of the best and most fun activity was the Hirschi Family Olympics. We did the javillin, shot-put and fungulator, or big slingshot. All these were done with water balloons. We also used to huge slingshots and shot 500 water balloons at each other. David got hit the most. I got it in the thigh and it left a bruise for about 2 weeks it was brutal. There was no mercy shown.
It wouldn't be a family get together without someone throwing up and this time was no exception. David and most of his family got the flu and then it just went around the family for the next 2 weeks if not more.
We had a talent show that was so much fun. My family did syncrinized swimming that consisted of my three kids getting thrown above a blanket pretending to swim. Jason and Brogan stole the show though. They did a lipsync to the song Farmers tan. Brogan was absolutely adorable. Smig you need to post it to Youtube. I can't wait to see it again.
This was truly so much fun. I can't wait till next time. I love my family so much and love how much fun we can have together. Love you all miss you so much
