Harris Reunion July 18-23





So every year my Mother's family has a reunion . We go camping for a week. This year we got to go for the full week! It was a blast! Todd wasn't able to come during the week because he had to work so that was a bummer but he came on the weekend and we went motorbiking, hiking, played cards, and ate lots of yummy food.

Mieley and Sadie on the 4 wheeler. Everytime you started up the 4wheeler all of the kids (20) would come running towards the bike and want a ride. It was pretty funny.


Ryker loved to play in the dirt and rocks. He started a rock collection which was a lot of fun for him.


So all of the kids decided to put on a talent show for the adults. There was a stage there. They practiced and then when it was time they invited all the adults and charged them 10 dollars each to come. Of course we didn't give them that much but they made some money. In fact Mieley my niece had a bucket and was collecting the money while the kids were performing and then she took off with the money before the show was over. Smart girl. So the above picture is Ryker breaking sticks this was his talent. Below is Daeson doing cartwheels over logs. Pretty talented!

Sadie held this pose for like the whole talent show! It was so funny! She like didnt move.

At the beginning of the show Sadie screamed "Ladies and gentlemen!" and she held her hands up high ,. Then she repeated it over and over for like 15 minutes. She really liked being in the spotlight.
There was lots of gymnasstics you can see here Tevan, Sadie and Brooke all performing.

This was another one of Daesons tricks. He balanced a rock on his head while balancing on a fence. Pretty impressive!And this is Tora striking a pose. She did a lot of modeling that was her talent. it was funny.

And this was the audience

And this is Sadie sayimg "Ladies and Gentlemen again" and below is Sadie and Tora practicing for the show!
Ryker made a lot of mud balls there. It was one of his favorite things to do. Also all the kids made a river out of mud.


So there is a very funny story behind this picture. I was down at the campsite and Tora and Sadie were yelling MOM, MOM, come help! So I went up to see what was going on and Tora was like help Sadie, help Sadie.. So I looked and.......
Her pants were stuck on a nail and she couldn't move. . I laughed so hard.


This kids had lots and lots of water fights. It was fun except for for the adults because the only water supply came from a pump and it was really hard to pump and for every pump you did you only got like a tablespoon of water..



We roasted lots of marshmallows and ate lots of hot dogs... the kids loved that too!

Grammy gave them glow sticks at night they all had fun with that too,


And Grandpa took Ryker on a long motorbike ride. He felt really big and special.

You were up in the mountains above Kilgore, huh? We had quite a few family reunions there when I was a kid in the same spot!
