Hatch Family Reunion in Gordondale

This past weekend we went to Gordondale for a family reunion. We couldn't leave until Matt got off work at 5pm on Friday, so I got the kids and the van all loaded up and we picked him up at work since we had to head out that way anyway. We arrived at about 11pm just as the rain was starting again. We had driven through quite a bit of rain and were hoping that it wasn't raining where we were going, but no such luck. We were lucky in the fact that Thomas took our tent up for us when he left earlier and put it up for us though. Our canvas roof rack let in a bit of rain though and we had some soggy sleeping bags in spots. What an adventure!! We found the dry spots and managed to get our kids to sleep. The next day was beautiful!! We had awesome weather all day until about supper time when it started raining again. It rained until it was time to light the fireworks and didn't rain all night. Just as we were about to get up it started raining again for a couple of hours though. We were all pretty soggy and dirty, but the kids had a great time. Matt's uncle Kelly brought some harnesses for a rope pull that the kids (and adults) all had a blast on. There were lots of cousins and toys and dogs and other animals that kept everyone pretty busy. It was a fun reunion!
