Family Reunioin Colorado Style

Last weekend my family all met up in Colorado at the Favero's house. It was a jammed pack 3 days of fun. Some of the highlights- a talent show put on by Addy and a Wilson family Amazing Race cleverly orchestrated by Brooke. I forgot to take pictures so I'm going to refer you to my sister Livy's blog for some pictures. http://www.aaronanderinkusch.blogspot.com/ (Thanks Livy).

The Amazing Race:

Team Dich
Papa
Aaron Kusch
Aaron Favero

Team Stewart
Stewart
Jonathan
Ryan
Christy + baby Claire
Livy

(Grandma Patsy, Brooke and I stayed back at the house to watch 15 crazy kids. Next time we get to race. )

Legs of the Race:

1. Run/walk 2 miles round trip to a reservoir. Then a paddle boat race around a buoy and back.
2. Drive to Boulder (45 mins away) and visit a kite store to purchase kites.
3. Head to Red Rock and get as close as you can to the stage and perform a song with a kazoo.
4. Eat a plate of Rocky Mountain Oysters (Sheep Testicles)
5. Go on three rides at the Oldest Amusement park ever.
6. Complete 10 laps at a Go-Kart track.
7. Drink a super thick shake from Chick-Fil-A.

Here are some clips of the race from Stewart's phone:



And I had to include my brother attempting to do the Cinnamon Challenge (eating 1 tablespoon of cinnamon).

Love it! I'm so glad Stewart got Ryan and the cinnamon challenge. It just shows how twisted our family is. We are all laughing like crazy when he throws up, and then there is Dad providing the accoustic to the madness.

Also, I'm glad he got some of the race. Well done, well done.
