For our final evening all together we headed down to my parent’s property in La Pine, Oregon, for an outdoor bonding adventure.  Here’s all the cousins modeling their hand-drawn tee-shirts:

Time for a walk-about with Grandpa!  Follow the leader!

Pushing over dead trees has been a favorite activity for years and years.

A big ole fire was built and when the coals were perfect in went the foil packet dinners:

It was quite a feast!

Time for the grand event: the family showcase!  We opened the show by leading everyone in the silly song/dance “The Button Factory”:

It was a big hit!

Other family members took turns telling stories, doing little skits, singing, and dancing:

Grandma called up all the cousins to lead us in a silly fruit song and dance:

The highlight of the evening was the surprise skit: “Little Grandpa”, performed by the grandparents.  I acted as narrator and led Little Grandpa through a series of actions with hilarious results:

At the end I invited each cousin to pick themselves up off the ground and wipe away their laughter tears and come give Little Grandpa a hug goodnight:

It was a hilarious and enjoyable evening and an excellent way to end our time together.
