Palmer Family Reunion-Wrap Up

Okay so many of you are done with my Palmer Family Reunion posts, but let me tell you...it was a good time. Full of so much fun that it was just about impossible to return to every day life. The last night of our reunion we had a talent show. It was so fun to see what each family came up with. We had some seriously great talent going on.
Our family decided to sing the song "If all the Raindrops" (you know the one, "if all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops, oh what a rain it would be...remember it?) Well, we worked on it all week and the boys had it memorized backward and forward (okay not backward, but really well). I made some little baggies of lemon drops and gum drops for the boys to throw out while we sang it (we had candy bars for the second verse).
Well, it didn't go as planned. My sweet dad played the guitar for us to sing, we started singing great and as soon as the candy started to fly, there was a frenzy. The boys stopped singing and the talent was how far they could throw the candy. Oh well...
Palmer made up for our talent by playing his recital song. He did a great job.
The next day my very artistic BIL painted the kids faces (I did a few myself. I can do a mean butterfly if anyone is interested :)
Palmer wanted a skeleton face...it sort of freaked me out.
Lincoln was a little more tame with some Pokemon character. I love the rosy cheeks :)  I didn't get a picture of it for some reason, but Hunter was Venom (the black Spiderman), he was pretty thrilled with it.
These two boy loves Pokemon.
After we went to "Dairy Keen" (I think that is what it is called) It is a crazy busy place, but has amazing shakes.
We had the BEST time with the Palmer family over these few days. After lunch we went fishing with my brother David and his kids (coming soon, your so excited right?) It was just a perfect weekend!
