As most people in our family love Cracker Barrel, that is of course where we spent our first mealtime together when we got there on the 4th of July:
The actual reunion was at a great family park in town, with plenty of room to play and visit and eat lots of good food! We try to take pictures of each individual family represented. Here's one of ours:
After lunch and games and such, there were several groups gathered in various places across the lawn visiting. I thought it was humorous at one point to look over and see Aile hanging out with a bunch of the men from the family! :) (My aunt is in this picture, but she came over to the group with me. Aile had been there with just those men for quite some time!)
My uncle Tim is known for creating these ring toss games, and Brenner thought they were grand fun. Of course, he waited until everyone else had moved on to something else to take them on--as is his usual loner way.
Here's the 5 sisters!
And here's Brenner acting like a redneck at the hotel. He thought he was pretty hilarious with one arm through the neck-hole of his shirt, and he enjoyed hamming it up for everyone to take his picture!
One of the side benefits of this family vacation of ours was that Sean got to pick up his beloved Jed, the Big Ugly Jeep. This is his off-roading toy that he had to leave in California when we moved, so he was glad for the opportunity to get it back. Now it remains to be seen how much off-road adventuring we will be doing around here....
Up until the very moment we walked into the hotel lobby, my mom and aunt Sally thought we were not going to be able to come. We pulled off a great surprise, and they were very glad to see us show up!
Sean wanted a picture with all of his "moms"! My mom and her sisters have taken great care of us over the years, and we love them all so much! :)
Brenner requested that we not forget to include his beloved Whiffer in our memory-making, thus this photo as we were about head out for home:
