Time to Plan again

Well all good things must come to an end. Everyone who attended the reunion had a great time and the weather even cooperated for the past few days.

Wednesday was a very busy day. The best part for the under 5 bunch was the pile of dirt Christian brought over for the kids to play in. A shade structure was added for sun protection.

I had a chance to finally make a pen with my brother David. He had all sorts of wood and I used some Cherry pieces to match my kitchen. The turned out beautifully but when it came time to put the pieces together the pieces split. I did not have time to do it again due to the baby duty and much to my surprise David redid that piece for me. Thank-you David. I will take a photo for all to see.

We were able to go on a hike led by Will Meyer. We missed any announcements about the hike but as we were coming out the petting zoo with the kids in the double stroller we found the hiking group. They said the stroller could come and so it came. I think it was used to its limits but surprisingly with all the bounces and jiggles the babies both took a nap. Amazing. We had beautiful scenery with some great views.

Another group went to Barclay's house for some fishing. Barclay and Dean lead that event. If you would like to share what you did that would be great.

Last night with the family auction. Some beautiful items were auctioned off. Homemade cards, quilts, photos, gift baskets, toys, calendars, shirts and more were available. Part of the auction was also a silent auction. Christian did a great
job calling for the auction and some good money was raised for the next reunion.

Today was a day for goodbyes and packing up. Considerable effort was made to return and clean up the camp for the Meyers. Thanks for all who helped. I am proud to belong to such a great family.
