Anderson Family Reunion

Sarah and Scout are visiting the Durand side of the family in Sacramento, so it's my turn (in my loneliness and solitude) to update the web log. We recently enjoyed the Brad and Olivia Anderson Family Reunion in the picturesque hills of Sparks, NV. I can't believe that my parents' family is big enough to have a family reunion... it's just weird that we all are married with children. But I digress. So, the Anderson Reunion is a kind of mellow version of Woodstock (less live music, but just a much naked mud-romping). I don't want to write too much, but in order to explain the pictures below, I'll mention that the reunion included 1. An all-day, sunburn inducing trip to lovely Lake Tahoe 2. Making stilts out of cans (Boy Scout Handbook style) 3. A real pirate treasure hunt in the desert, including a real treasure chest, a real tombstone, a real map, a real Jolly Rogers flag, and real pirates 4. A variety show (or "talent show". The name was changed for the sake of political-correctness). There were also water-balloons and other such fun, random activities.
