"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences." ~Gordon B. Hinckley

Fischbeck Family Reunion Part I

The Fischbeck Family Reunion LITERALLY had two parts. Friday thru Monday morning was spent at the cabin doing the obligatory competitions, relays, obstacle courses, and talent shows as well as the standard all-nighter games of Settlers, Scrabble, Werewolves, Psychiatrist and Scattergories---which Delainee is quite good at! Man alive that Mama Maurio is amazing at itinerizing. With the amazing weather it was hard to not be playing outside.

For the obstacle course, each person had to run the balance beam, turn around the bat five times, maneuver through the cones after getting dizzy from those five times, jump over the broom, kick the soccer ball in the net, run around the cone, and end with two feet in the finish circle. We don't need to really disclose everyone's times, but I will man up and admit that I was in the bottom three for the women!

And I would be remisce if I did not post Mama Maurio's run! Ü



This was the boy number for our talent night! (Laetner is far right)


All the single ladies....(Delainee starts in the back row, but watch out for her solo x-jump)


We had some technical difficulties with our actual video camera---SOMEONE forgot to bring the proper chords for charging----so both video and stills had to be taken with just our little digital camera. It was a tough choice on deciding what was video worthy or not. Luckily there were 'photographers' everywhere and I can't wait to see what everyone else captured on film!
