We're halfway through our Freeze family reunion. It has been so much fun (and exhausting, in a good way). Our kids are staying up late, getting dirty and tired, eating too many treats, and overall having a blast.
Yesterday was so busy I came home and fell into bed. We started with family pictures after breakfast. Then we headed to our university's soccer stadium for the Freeze Cup. I managed to scour our team's only goal over two matches. Not that I'm very good--it was as much luck as skill. We divided the teams evenly between adults, teenagers, and little kids. The winning team received an actual trophy that we made from thrifted items spraypainted and glued together.
We headed back to camp for an awards ceremony, complete with customized certificates for every participant and Canadian candies.
After lunch, most of the kids went down to play in the river. Eric and I headed home briefly to drop off some times and help some people do laundry. We had an intense game of capture the flag. I mostly stayed behind defending and guarding. I'm not as fast as many of the teens (or Eric), who were constantly breaking people out of jail and evading capture.
After dinner, we had an outdoor movie for younger kids, bonfires and S'mores, and probably other things that I'm leaving out.
So that was Saturday.
Today we had to clear out of the camp between 1-6 pm for an event that had been previously scheduled. After breakfast we cleaned up the mess hall and packed everything away into the bunkhouses, then left the camp for the day. Most of Eric's family went to church and then we spent the rest of the afternoon at our house. Eating, playing, talking, going on walks around downtown and campus...good times.
After dinner the group went back to camp and I stayed behind since I had a breech live session to attend. It's been nice being in a quiet house for a few hours. I missed the talent show, though.
