It's a Pickett Party!

My siblings are spread far apart for the time being so we usually only get together two times a year, once at Christmas and once in the summer.  For this get together we went to a cabin in Heber City.  We did so many fun activities including: a birthday party for my Mom, Wii games, crafts, Survivor, Power Wheel Parade and playing at Grandma and Grandpas.  It was so much fun to see all the cousins playing together and the adults even managed to have some fun too.
Happy Birthday Mom!  We love you!

We made my parents play the Wii and do a couples compatibility test.  They failed miserably.  Look how confused they are.


All the kids like Grandpa because of the mounds of candy he gives them.

Doing crafts.

Jack's snake "he" made.

Survivor!!!!!  Tribe Binks vs Tribe Erskin.  The tribes are names after our childhood pets.  My favorite was the confession booth but I didn't get a picture.

The water balloon toss.

We both won immunity at this challenge.  I also won it another time.

A puzzle.

Balance challenge.


The finale was between Jason and Tina.  They had to throw cards into a cantaloupe (it was supposed to be a watermelon but we couldn't find any and assumed it was the same, but it turns out it doesn't work), eat a twinkie and put all the family in order by age which is trickier than it sounds.

Survivor Champ.  Their team flag was displayed and she got a Subway gift card.

Playing at Grandmas.  Will Jack ever stop trying to eat the fake food?

I picked a zucchini from the garden.  Later I turn around and Jack is eating it raw.  He kept saying "Keeny yummy"

The Power Wheel Parade.  My dad put this together.  They even got to throw candy at us.  So cute.


Jack loves the power wheels.  He just slams on the gas, laughs and goes.  Logan and I have to run by his side and steer.


Reading books with grandma.

Root beer floats in the tree house with Grandpa.



Little monkey.



Jack loves Staci.  She babysat him a couple times and afterwards would saying "Staci  fun"
