Family Reunion Schedule Suggestions, Games and Themes

My friend had a several day reunion last year and I asked her about the schedule she used and she gave me a print out of her schedule. Our family does reunions but this is more for an extended family reunion. I added in my suggestion and games I thought would be fun.

She had a "Western" theme.
