Family Reunion 2009

WHISTLER, CANADA

A week long stay at one of the most luxurious resort hotels at Whistler was beyond wonderful. My parents time share at Whister hasn't been used much, but no longer! We have officially started our Matkin Family Reunions. The 7 cousins LOVE being together, and they all play so well together. We all headed up, (making it flawlessly through the border) on Monday. Decisions for the next week became, should we go to the pool first, then head to the video game room, follow up with a movie at the private Resort movie theater. We only left the resort once to go to the Lake. I can't wait for next year! Thanks everyone for the fabulous time!

Here are some of our highlights....

The POOL was taken over this week by the Matkin Family.
* Water Football * Swimming Races (I won't mention who won) * Tubing in the Waterslide













Hanging Out was wonderful...video game room, resort movie theater each night (we took over that place too), painting our nails, running to the club market for sweets, swimming in the bathtub, playing wii, watching t.v., EATING!!!









We left the resort once to go to the LAKE...
On our way there, a massive fire broke out in the mountain ranges right above us. It was eerie and became entertainment for all those at the lake.








Hunter's BIRTHDAY was this week. I wanted to make it extra special so I planned a scavenger hunt throughout the resort. I put clues on paper plates that led him to places like the front desk, the market, waterslides, etc. He had to ask people for the clues, his cousins helped him out. Each clue had a word on it which spelt out...
YOU ARE HAVING A SHOPPING SPREE AT THE LEGO STORE IN SEATTLE
(well not really a spree, but he got to choose something really cool)





On our last day we headed to the VILLAGE to check out the Olympic 2010 scene and chow down on Canadian favorite COWS ice cream.
