The Eve of Brown's Clearing Survivor Games!

This was the 4th year of Brown's Clearing Survivor Games. Ryan and I love it. We envision it getting even more fun and competitive for the next generation of kids since they will have grown up doing it, and as parents we can help build the excitement as the weekend approaches. Already though, the kids come up to my dad (who organizes the event) and ask, "Are you the game master?" It's priceless, really.

About half of the family comes up early every year for dinner, camping out, and a bon fire, the night before the games.

Hunter getting ready to take over for Ryan...


Ezra loving being apart of the late-night excitement (we kept him on AZ time, so he was up until about 11pm every night, and woke up around 10am...it was awesome to feel like we were staying up late and then sleeping in until 10am with him every morning).


Enjoying the bon fire...
