Camelot Family Reunion

The Larsen family reunion was at a place called Camelot near the Strawberry reservoir.  This is the third year we have been there with Doug's family.  It is a large cabin with exterior rooms on the side, so it can sleep most of Doug's large family.  In total there were 16 children and 16 adults. That is a lot of people to keep track of and  feed every day. 
The Strawberry river runs along side the cabin where we were able to do some tubing.  It was very cold so we only did it a few times, but it was lots of fun.  Blake was able to go with all the boys and learn how to shoot a gun.  I don't know how excited I am about that, since I am not a fan of guns.  So Blake was told to not expect to get to do it again until he gets to scouts. He seemed fine with that.
 Alyssa and her cousins had a fun time catching and playing with snakes!!  Yes I said snakes, she and some of her girl cousins loved the snakes.  I am so glad we were able to leave them behind!  Saturday afternoon I was outside enjoying the day when I saw an eagle fall out of the sky!  We think she was trying to catch something on the side of the mountain, but instead hit the mountain and fell.  She looked like her wing was pretty hurt, but we were able to get up pretty close to her and take pictures.  We think she had a nest up above and so I hope she was able to get back up to her babies.  When we got up the next morning she was gone, so I choose to believe she got back to her nest.  Alyssa was quite concerned and though it was cool to get up close to one in the wild.  Katelyn had a fun time crawling everywhere and getting into as much trouble as she could.
