Davenport Family Reunion '11

The Davenport Family Reunion this year was held in Bear Lake this July. Most of us had never been up there before. The lake was high from unusually large snow fall this year. Hence, there were no beach areas so the lake was really rocked on the shoreline. We had a great time. We stayed in a home that had like 18 bedrooms. Every family had their own bedroom, plus, a lot of the cousins had their own rooms as well. Here's what we did:
- Every morning we had a devotional and a theme "What a wonderful . . . life, world, family, etc.
- Every evening we had a family activity . . . international night, talent show, minute to win it games, family history, etc.
- If the kids were good, they could earn "Grandpa Dollars" and then during the week, every couple of days, the kids could buy toys and treats from "Grandma's store".
- We took out the wave runners and boat, swam in the lake, and played on the rocky beach.
- We visited Minnatonka Cave and some of us went to a nearby ice cave as well.
- Family fun run.
Fun trip.
