More pictures from our family reunion

While Blaine, Evan, and Melinda were taking a trip down Memory Lane in the garage sorting through their boxes of memorabilia, Fiona was busy making sure Benson had plenty of tasty dog food. Also, Moriah, Fiona, Mylee & Brady had a fun time eating mini donuts tied to strings hanging from the opened big garage door. On the last day of our family reunion, the grandkids enjoyed a Treasure Hunt with Brandon & Melinda hiding the goodies and giving them clues along the way.


The grandkids sure enjoyed swinging, especially when Granddad pushed them fast and high. Another fun thing to do while swinging, is knocking into Granddad and send him flying :)


Aubrey taking an exciting ride in our cherry red Flyer wagon.


Of course, you can't have a family reunion without a potato cannon.


Sunday evening we enjoyed the beautiful weather by spending time on the porch swing.


Our beautiful Driel with darling Kira.


One more ride for the grandkids around the property with granddad.

Bonding time at the Gold's Rod & Gun Club


After going out to breakfast, seven family members from the second generation headed over to the Gold's. They had a loud time shooting at different targets from clay pigeons to a quarter. Ask Melinda if you can see the quarter that Brandon shot.

Driel became quite the expert at sending clay pigeons skyward.

Marissa getting a few pointers from Blaine.

Granddad and Grammy kept Kira, Fiona, and Moriah busy playing at the Hill's playground while their parents were next door having fun.
