Each day of the family reunion, we had a different type of theme party. On Sunday, after church, we headed up to the mountains for a hamburger cook out and camping style party. We celebrated Father's day by crowning each of the dads with a "Top Pop" hat. (Aunt Laurie and I must have read the same magazine! I gave my dad all kinds of "Pop" presents that morning-POPsicles, POPcorn, soda POP, lolliPOPs. and jalapeno POPpers.) We played freeze tags, threw rocks in the river, sang campfire songs, toasted marshmallows, and had a wonderful time spending time with each other. One of the funniest moments was when the Zuniga children, broke a picnic table bench during a rowdy up and down song. It was purely accidental and very funny!

Here's a fun song to share!

One of our favorite family songs is a "round song"

I come a zimba, zimba, zion

I coma a zimba, zimba, zay

I come a zimba, zimba, zion

I come a zimba, zimba, zay

See him there, the famous warrior

See him there, the Zulu chief

(half of the group repeats the word chief while the other half repeat the song)

Check back in a couple of days for the 50's party!

Dear Sailor,
They say the third time is a charm. This is my third attempt trying to send a comment to your BLOG. I'm determined!
You BLOG is very nice...I like your "pokie" dot background and the pictures you've posted.
Thank you for playing your violin for me. I had no idea you were even taking lessons. You and West are really quite amazing! I could see how much you loved playing and entertaining. Do you know your Mommie loved to "entertain" when she was a little girl. I think she still does! Ha Ha Ha.
Great BIG huggs and kisses.
Love, Great Aunt Charlotte

Sailor,
I thought the pine valley adventure was so fun, too. My kids were so filthy after, were you? I liked seeing all the little girls in their white dresses on sunday, too. It was a great idea of yours! You're a fashion genius!

Dear Sailor:
I miss you! I hope you are having a lovely day. I'm huddled in a hallway, just so I can get Internet and write you an email. Maybe you should have Daddy help you post the 50's party! Much love, Prudy
