Hatch Family Reunion

We travelled to Cherry Grove on the August Long Weekend for the Hatch Family Reunion. The kids all had a blast and enjoyed getting to know all their cousins again. Here are a few pics!
Matt and his Grandpa having breakfast - it must be too early in the morning!
Matt spent some quality time with his cousin Rachelle getting a haircut, and of course spent quite a bit of time playing horseshoes too.


Anna had a ride on the miniature pony there.

Gideon was in heaven -- He was headed over to the pony any chance he got!

Face painting for the kids

Making homemade ice cream. Gideon and Sarah shared a cone.

Time for a nap!


Grace and a cousin with their loot from the fishpond!

Candy Cannon!! Uncle Al called the kids out about 5 or 6 times for a candy cannon. They would all follow him down the road, and gather together for the countdown. Then he would shoot the candy up in the air and they would scramble to get as much as they could - it was fun!!





Grace spent some time doing crafts - and I was actually there too!!

They set up their famous waterslide that has been to about 9 family reunions. Anna was brave and went down many times. There were smaller pools for the little kids too.
Saturday night they counted 275 people for dinner - it took a lot of meat to feed everybody. Especially the teenagers!!
No family reunion would be complete without bottle rockets!

Or fireworks

Or playing with fire!
We really did have a fun time and it was great to visit with everybody. Looking forward to the next one!

Fun pics! I love the one of Sarah and Gideon napping; they look like twins sleeping side by side. Good job on getting a pic of yourself in there too. I can hardly believe how long your hair is looking (I think I am getting used to seeing you with it all pulled back for running).....it looks super cute!
