What a ball we had last summer. It was a veritable feast in the park. Our family and friends love to cook and eat and work it off with fun activities. Somehow the grills, the smells of simmering and roasting food set it all off just right. Yum!
Still you want everyone to keep in mind the theme of the occasion so they will anticipate theme related activities and prepare to work and play in harmony with the theme.
Remember to plan to decorate the family reunion venue in harmony with the theme. The items you chose to decorate has much to do with that. The theme we chose last summer was centered around having fun with our children.
We called it "Fun In The Park." So we decorated with the fun activities in mind.
Activities included the kite flying, dodge ball, bubble blowing contests, a bible drama, water balloon relay and winning and eating lots of snacks.
What You Need:
1. Spindles of colored ribbon
2. Party bags
3. Wrapped and boxed candies (Choose candies that hold up on warm sunny days.)
4. Helium filled balloons (Any size or shape will do.)
5. Scissors
Sort the candies so a few of each kind goes in each bag. Fill the bags evenly. Run the edge of your scissors over about 12 inches of the ribbon to produce a twirl on the end of the ribbon string. Tie the ribbon in a knot around the bag opening leaving about 10 inches to twirl about the bag. Attach the other end of the ribbon to the helium filled balloons. Place the bags evenly along the center of the picnic tables.
The colorful ribbons, balloons, party bags and the sweet smell of candies will raise the fun and excitement to the next level.
Happy Family Reunion Planning!

Water Balloons: The kids could not wait to get their hands on these. As a matter of fact some did try.
We had to post a guard around them for fear the balloons would all disappear before the games began.
Bubble Blowing Contest: This captivated the kids for hours...
and hours...
