Savage Reunion...family pics and races

Friday was a big day, and the last full day of the reunion. We started out with breakfast and then we went up to where the cabins and pool were for games and family pictures. I am always in awe and the amazing family I come from. Our of 234 people, 112 were there and it was quite the sight. It's always so fun to see and visit with everyone, even if you only get to chat with some of them for a bit!

After pictures, it was everyone's favorite part: the races! This is a tradition that they have done for years! We have added different ones at different reunions, but the foot races have always been done!

Our group waiting for the races to start.

 There were gunny sack races...

Relays...

 Ball hitting races...

Couple's races...this one was hilarious! There were quite a few collisions when everyone had to go around the big ball to come back!

Waiting for instructions.

Go!

And more relay type races...

Christiana and Sloane bonded over fish...

Landon watching all the craziness. He refused to do any of the funny races.

After the funny races were the foot races. They started with the youngest group and then went up from there! They were pretty entertaining to watch!

Travis trying to help Sloane race, but she was more into eating her rice crispy than running!

Landon took first in the next group and got to pick a prize. The winner in each group got to pick a box of candy!

Travis took 2nd in his group

Carson took 2nd in his too.

From here on out, the racers got older...

high school to twenties guys.

30-40 ladies. I was just glad I didn't come in last!

30-40 guys.

40-50 ladies

40-50 guys. There were actually only two of them that fit this category, so a few younger ones joined in to give them some competition.

Women's 50+ My cousin Diana actually won it and grandma Foulger came in second, but since Di was the one that organized it all, she gave the winning candy to my mom.

And the old guys!

Grandpa Foulger spent a lot of time blowing up balloons for kids while they waited around.
