Once Upon A Hunter Family Holiday...

Well we spent the past weekend celebrating PIGWAB. All of my two devoted blog readers may remember a similar post from last year. Matt's father's side of the family has a family reunion event every thirteen months which has take on the name PIGWAB. It's an interesting story and I would be happy to explain in more detail for any of you who have a burning desire to know more. I'll be holding my breath as I wait for that email! Anyhoo, last year we had an All American theme and this year our theme was Fairy Tales. Now, this celebration has evolved into a 3 day extravaganza complete with games, contests, prizes, shirts, annual reports and food galore. So here are some pics from our wonderful and exhausting weekend:

I found THE most adorable little matching tiaras for my girls. Here is Princess Daphne with her Princess hair:
And here I am with Tori in her beautiful tiara! (It looks fake, but we really are in the backyard!)
Some of the table decorations were little plastic fencing swords, which quickly became props for play sword fighting. That's Isaac's back...
Baby Victoria 2 1/2 months old:
One of the contests was decorating cardboard crowns, and here are ours:

I'm not really sure what Daphne is doing with her hands...
Here is one of the castles from the "Build a Castle" contest:
We played a game called "Slay the Dragon" where we tried to demolish two different dragon pinatas. The first one we tried to pummel in the traditional manner (sans blindfold).
The second one we tried to destroy using a "spear":


But alas, this method was unsuccessful, so we went back to the traditional method:

Here we are participating in the somewhat traditional PIG LOB contest, where we try to throw water balloons through the Pig's mouth. This year our pig donned a crown to accomodate the theme.

My nieces invented a relay race where the children had to go down a slip 'n'slide, ride a stick horse and capture the princess... My camera died during this contest, so mics are limited. We also bobbed for apples and did lots of other fun things that I was unable to photgraph. We had so much fun and it was good to be with family.

Here is Daddy and his little princess!
