Frederick Family Reunion 2010 - Vacation Week 1

We traveled about 6 hours to Hayward, Wisconsin for my mom's family reunion. We thought we could make Presley happy for those 6 hours since Steve's car has a DVD player if we needed it to keep her occupied. After the first hour, she started crying and screaming...and we couldn't get the DVD player to work! UGH!!! I know, I know...back in the day there were no DVD players in cars, blah blah. Even my new phone was able to play Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episodes on it, but did I really want to spend the whole trip holding the phone up for her to see? Nope! So Presley was happy for one hour, slept for 2 and we spent the other 3 hours trying to figure out how to make her happy and keep her occupied!

There were about 27 of us in 4 cabins, so it worked out nicely. Our family comes from all over - Iowa, Wisconsin, Texas, Colorado and Oregon! (so maybe I shouldn't complain about our little 6 hour drive!)

The lake was so pretty! The ducks would come up to us and want to be fed, you could hear the loons on the water and Steve even got in some fishing.
Of course we had our Frederick Family Olympics. For those of you who haven't heard about this, it is serious, intense and competitive! This year was actually a little more laid back and fun (even though my team lost)!


We had a good, close game of kickball.


We want a pitcher, not a belly itcher!
Run Holly Run!!

Even Presley had the chance to kick and run with Grandma's help.......

........but she got slightly distracted and started picking flowers (or weeds).

She loved the water! (and the swings, and the sand, and the slide....and just being outside in general)!

Here is Presley and Cameron (my cousin's 2 1/2 year old daughter) playing in the sand.
