Misty did an Outstanding job planning, setting up, and keeping us all enjoying ourselves at the 2012 reunion. Every time we saw Misty or Brad they were working! Thanks for all you do for us Misty and Brad!
I arrived Friday afternoon just in time for the lesson on how to operate the newly refurbished carousel. As soon as we had the part covering actual operation of the machine, I got lost. Motion sickness was setting in. Operating the carousel would be Lee Largent and his cousin, Brian's, job as they were relatively immune. Troy Eldridge showed up for a late lesson Saturday, but after standing on the inside of the carousel for one round, he came up missing for the 2nd half of the lesson. Motion sickness apparently runs on our side of the family. The kids would have kept Lee and Brian running the thing full time, but eventually even they felt a bit nauseous, so the carousel didn't run the entire weekend.
The Creek provided entertainment for a "duck float" contest as well as as wading and splashing
Family baseball was part of the action too.
Evening Campfires
With the Sunday morning announcement that cleanup would begin right after breakfast, everyone seemed to disappear. We didn't have a family business meeting (planning for the next reunion) and we missed family photos, so I'm glad Ed came through with all these. Here's a hot link to all Ed's photos, the few I took, and maybe someone else will contribute a few more?
I've learned to appreciate Sunday evening at the reunion. It's usually just a few of us hold outs, but it gives me a chance to get some real visiting in with just a few relatives I rarely see. This year a cross-state touring bicyclist showed up to join Penny Sue, Dave and me.
