Family Reunion 09

This year we had our first actual family reunion. We usually see most of the same folks about once a year at Christmas, or a birthday celebration but this was an official reunion. It was great to see everyone, and there was always something going on. My great Aunt Joyce & Uncle Steve hosted the party at their house on Richland Chambers Lake, where there were 2 boats, 2 jet-skis, games, food and plenty of people to chat with. I think there were around 75 people there. I have a fun family & you will see some of the fun captured in still-shot..
Here are me, Mom, Evan, & Ma- 4 generations.
Evan liked this game- you are supposed to throw the tethered balls from a distance and get them on the 'ladder' but Evan just liked moving them from one ladder to the other.
Here is Evan being chased by his 'friend' Graedon. He is 4 & they had a great time laughing and running around together.
Here are most of the kids playing blind-folded musical chairs. We had a few cheaters. :)
Page and I after an exhausting day in the water.
Page and Evan watched the older kids have relays and play games before dinner.
Here are the final 2 groups getting ready for the wheel-barrow finals.
Also, throughout the day there was much dancing....
My grandparents started it off is style.
Kim & Steven got a little crazy with it...
And Steven got down on Ma's level...

Good times. We also had a talent show on Saturday night, but I did not have many good pictures from that. Overall, it was a great first reunion- maybe it will actually become a tradition! :)
