Family Reunion week-end

What a blast! We had a fantastic time over the 4th. All of Jan's family came from MN except Jim, who had to work. All of Larry's family came except Chad and Jody, who had to work. All of Kevin's family came except Lee and Sarah, who had to work. Work can be a terrible thing. :-) Ha! Just glad to have a job in this economy, I am sure! We did miss them though. Sharon's family are all going to their new home in FL at the end of the month so they were unable to make it, too. But, the farm was filled to the brim with bouncing kids and happy adults so it was a very good time together!

Megan, Drew and Kayley arrived Wed. night. Andy had to work! I was SO excited to see them! I cannot tell anyone how much I had missed them! Thursday Jan and Matt made it to the farm. That evening we had Jan and Clayton for grilled chops and had a really nice time visiting with them. One of my favorite couples!

Friday was arrival time for everyone else. Ron, Meghan, Gabe and Garrett were first to get here. Melissa was in Europe with her mother. They were followed by Britt, Tom, Hayley, Olivia and Carley. Next came Marla with her children Kallie and Liam. Liam is two and it was the very first time I had met him. Sweet kids! Last to arrive were Stan, Heather, Micah and Mataya.

Friday night we lit a big bonfire and had hot dogs and the day was spent at the golf course by several of the adults. That night Kevin and Julie came for the fire, along with his daughter Katie. Husband Dan had a bug and was very ill and couldn't come down. John and Amanda and their new puppy Angus stopped out, also. It was a very fun evening.





Saturday saw lots of action with water. Stan and Heather brought a pool and Britt had a water slide matt and the kids loved it all. More golf by some of the men, too. It was a hot and steamy day so the water felt good. That evening we grilled hamburgers and Kevin, Julie and Katie came again. Still no Dan, very bad virus had the best of him. Poor guy.

I will add more to this post as I get videos done so keep checking back. :-) I have the first video done. This one had Drew becoming very wet and dirty!
