Family Reunion

A GOOD name is to be more desired than great riches, Proverbs 22:1 Every other year the descendants of Walter and Sadie gather together for a special Father's Day Weekend. In this picture my father-in-law and his twin sit beside their parents.
Our faithful hosts! We will miss this spot.
Wade and his brother.
Cousins!!


An uncle and a sister-in-law!
Rachel enjoying the company of two cool guys!
Lot's of stories!
Good food, and fun conversations!


Night descends, the over-night guests are the only ones left!


During the day we enjoyed several activities.
Lilly enjoyed harassing cousins she doesn't even know!
Garret swimming!
More cousins to swim with!

My boys were very excited when these arrived!
This is Blong Ball - a game for players of all ages.
Tunes from an old juke box!
More Blong Ball

My sister-in-law and I add up our scores!
Here's the crew pouring over maps. They're looking for a new spot for the next reunion. Somewhere by a lake...sounds nice, but I'll miss this place.
My little friend asked me to play Blong Ball. We cheered each other on!
Garret on the trampoline. This place is kid heaven!
The grown ups were having a pretty good time too!

J.C. let Wade ride his bike.
Two brothers and their little cousin. My husband is the baby. Off for a joy ride!
He came back for me! We're back safe and sound.
It was a wonderful weekend full of memories for us and our children. We look forward to seeing everyone again in two years.

WOW - look at the bikers!
Family reunion - what a fun time for the kids - brings back great memories of my childhood - sitting w/the older (old) people listening to their stories. Rachel - write them down so you can remember and share with your children!
