The rest of the reunion we spent at Downata Hot Springs in a group of covered wagons. There were six wagons in a group so each family got one wagon and it turned out to be the perfect place for our group. The wagons each had a king size bed and 2 sets of bunk beds with and ac/heating unit and fridge in each one. They were awesome! And because we used all the wagons, we basically had the whole place to ourselves including all the open grass area and the fire pits. It was such a fun spot.
We spent the day doing crafts projects with the kids and looking for bugs and creatures with some little exploration sets that Grammie gave each of the kids.
We played games and more games all day long. The favorites of the weekend were Splendor and Cover your Assets. The kids (and adults) couldn't get enough game time in!
We also got to go to a Bison Ranch while we were there. Justin has a connection with someone that owns and runs a ranch and he set us up with a private tour of the place. It was really fun to see the bison up close and personal! They are huge, beautiful creatures and the kids had such a good time feeding them and getting to be right up close. That was something we'll never forget.
We celebrated Papa's birthday that night, had teen Bingo, roasted marshmallows and starbursts, and stayed up late looking at the stars and enjoying the beautiful summer night!
