The lodge pic above is, pathetically enough, one of the only non-talent show pictures we took of the Young-Johnson reunion! We stayed at Hidden Springs Ranch, a fabulous lodge with tons of activities. There was swimming, canoeing, a rec center with a climbing wall and basketball, lots of pickup football games and lots of other activities and fun. We loved being together and spending time getting re-acquainted.
Not possessing many of the type of talents you can exhibit (for example, it's not like we could edit copy in front of people), Greg and I exploited our children for the talent show, where Emma reenacted the "Vote for Pedro" dance from "Napoleon Dynamite" with a little help from Greg, me, Grace and Kate (very little in the case of Grace and Kate, who stood around self-consciously as E danced). She did a totally SWEET dance and a great Napoleon imitation!
Then came Cass and Jason providing backup dancing and DRAMA for Zach's karaoke rendition of "Beat It." Super awesome!
Then came the Thomases doing their version (with great homemade puppets) of "The Mysterious Ticking Sound" by the Potter Puppet Pals. Greg and Ba provided curtain duties.
I'm not going to dwell on the next day, because that's when we said goodbye after seeing each other so much during the past several months. We had the consolation of Cass and Jason for one more night, but still: it was NOT fun. But it does make me look forward even more to the next time we're together!
