Pratt Reunion Day 2: Minute to Win It & Outdoor Movie

On Tuesday morning we met over at Kristie's for a delicious breakfast and then headed around the corner to the church pavilion. First we took photos in our cool Pratt family shirts. Here is the original Pratt family, minus Grandpa who passed away about fifteen years ago.
Here is Dave's family, except Jake who had to work.
Jerry's family
Jim's family
Kelly's family
Mary and Kristie's families had too many people at work, so we couldn't take their photos then, but here are all the cute kids. They're all the great-grandchildren plus Saidee.
Here is a better view of the awesome shirt. Nikki drew the sweet family tree with all of us on it.
At the pavilion there were favors and games for the kids, like this fishing pond.
Colby manning the pond.
My nephew Kade is such a cutie.
All the kids got squirt guns and had a blast with them.
Parker enjoying his gun.
Liesel Sweetheart.
Will is nearly walking.
Adam playing the football game.
Then we all played Minute to Win It. Here are Katie and Kaiti with their supplies for the games.
I haven't every watched the show, but I just about died laughing during some of these competitions.
Kaysia tried her hand-er, head at knocking over the bottle.
Chase wanted to try that one out too.
Kaysia had a tissue box full of ping-pong balls she had to empty.
Saidee tried that one too.
Jason and Parker tried moving cotton balls with Vaseline on their noses.
Here is a video of their success:
Eric and Camilla both tested how many needles they could thread one-handed.
A bunch of people stacked Oreos on their heads. Here is Holly's attempt.

Eric won that portion.
They also had a pack of Jelly Bellies that had a mix of delicious and nasty flavors. There were challenges and you just hoped you ended up with the good one.
All of the games were as much fun for the spectators as the players.
For lunch we had some delicious pulled-pork sandwiches.

Kristie rented a snow cone machine, which was the perfect treat for the day. We were really lucky in that most days the high was only about the mid-80s.
Kaysia, Belle and Saidee
Ryan and Everee resting in the shade.
I love this quote on Cache's shirt. I bet God said, "Ta-Dah" when he made all of us!
Abby is only six months older than Liesel, so maybe they'll be good friends as they get older.
Everee and Alexa
Kaiti and Landon taking photos. (I copied most of these photos from Kaiti and Jackie.)
We love Grandma!
We spent the evenings at Nikki and Wes's. We ate a delicious Cafe Rio-style meal and visited outside. Isabelle was showing off her monkey bar skills.
We were glad Jake was able to come down after work.
What a happy girl!
Camilla and Lindsey
The car was out of batteries, so Connor was getting a workout pushing Kaysia and Saidee around.
Chase was also pushing around a fully loaded car.
I love all their faces.
Enjoying the evening
Grandma and Liesel
We took a big family photo since more people were there in the evening. Unfortunately Brad had to return to Ogden for a bishopric assignment that night, so he wasn't there. I think the only other ones missing are Brad's uncles Kyle and Mark and his cousin Kade, who left last month on a mission to Burmingham, England.
After dinner we did a raffle for fun prizes. Brad got a first-aid kit, I got beach bags, Parker got some candy and Jason got this art set.
Besides the snow cone machine, they also rented a cotton candy machine and a popcorn popper.
Above is Adam and below is Catherine and Abby.
Jas was excited to try the cotton candy, but didn't care for it much. What a silly kid that doesn't like chocolate or cotton candy.
Grandma and Grandpa with their descendants.

That evening we watched Tangled outside.
Katie and Kaiti
Nikki, Parker, Everee and Alexa engrossed in the show.
Afterwards we went in the backyard and launched some lanterns like the type from the movie.
They were really pretty cool.
What a fun day!
