Big Hardy Reunion

This past weekend we went to the Lower Log Campground in the White Mountains to go to the Big Hardy reunion. This reunion has been going on for the last 57 years and consists of My Dad's Grandparents, their 14 children and all their posterity. It can be a little overwhelming to someone who doesn't know what to expect but it can be a lot of fun too. This year all my brothers and my sister where there. I think this is the first time this has happened since we were kids. My kids had a ball playing with their aunts, uncles and cousins, wading in the creek, catching crawdads, playing dominoes and other games with grandpa and eating lots of good food. On Sunday they had primary for the kids. Kaylee took Nate and he was a mess. Then when we told them that it was time to go to church (they have a family testimony meeting) he wasn't very excited and he told me he was going to act bad just like he did in primary. He actually did really good though. I am so thankful for family traditions. It is a lot of fun to be able able to visit with extended family and to hear the stories about my great grandparents and thier children.

Nate didn't know how to play dominoes but he sure had a good time stacking them up and building towers with them.

Aunt Leane talked the girls into seeing if they could touch their noses with their tongue. My kids have inherited the Call tongue! I knew Kaylee could do it because she has been doing since she was little. Cami, though, was a surprise.

Nate and Austin wanted to hold the crawdads. Nate was a little worried that it was going to pinch him. Austin thought it was great.

On Saturday they had a horseshoe tournament, a volleyball tournament and carnival type games for the little kids. The kids thought this was great and had a great time participating in all the fun.
