Pratt Family Reunion

We just returned from the annual Pratt Family Reunion in Birch Bay, Washington. We spent the week swimming in the pool, playing at the beach, and of course, eating. It wouldn't be a Pratt Reunion without lots of good food. We ventured into Canada one day and checked out the beach at Stanley Park in Vancouver. It was really hot but we cooled off in the ocean. We spent one day digging for clams and building sand castles. Who knew clams could get that big?! And they are really disgusting. But it was fun watching Uncle Marvin dig them out of the sand. Jane was so proud of herself for helping the big kids build a sandcastle. We went to the local water slide park one day and got a little sunburned. Jane had a lot of fun going on the little kid slides and eating an ice cream cone. Our last night we spent at Hovander Homestead Park eating grandpa's famous salmon and anticipating our annual treasure hunt. After discovering a pirate flag hanging from the tower, we found a clue which led everyone on a hunt to find the hidden pirate map. After following the map through the park, our niece Rylee spotted the hidden treasure chest (with a little help) and soon all the kids had raided it clean. The group photo turned out great. What a good looking family. (Everyone was there except for Cameron and Chelsea and two cousins serving missions.)
