Family

Even though it was a sad reason for all of us to be together last weekend, that didn’t keep us from enjoying each others company and still having a good time together!  We haven’t ALL been together in a really long time.  Always it seems like for the last few years, whenever we had a gathering at least one or more people would be missing.  But not this time!  The kids of course had tons of fun playing and climbing in the tree.

   

And well, a gathering of ours just wouldn’t be complete without a challenge of some sort.  This time it involved hot sauce.

Nathan handled it no problem, but I think it was a little much for Emily!

And Melanie – it wasn’t too hot for her, but she couldn’t stop laughing :)

Sherri is hiding her face in shame right here after she so gracefully plopped down onto the swing and almost broke it.  Just kidding :)

We also walked around the Springs a little bit.

Bradlee supposedly caught a little alligator down there, but it broke the line on his fishing rod.

I’m not so sure though because I never saw it.  But that’s what they told me.  I told all the other kids to go put their feet in the water as bait so that maybe I would get to see it.

Sadly it didn’t work.   They all still have their toes and I didn’t get to see an alligator.  There’s always next time!
