Family Reunion 2010

Just after New Years every year we head down to Lone Star, SC (a.k.a. middle of nowhere) for M's family reunion. This past Saturday we trekked the 2.5 hours down, stayed 3 hours, and then made our way back again. LONG DAY!!!
It was so cold this year that we weren't able to get outside and play at all so we were all stuck in a small little cabin. Luckily, some of the older kids took off to a house up the street and M and Mr. Bill was so sweet to take S for a ride in the truck to see the cows and ducks - she was in heaven!! When she wasn't riding around looking at all the animals, she was standing at the window watching the cows. Finally Mrs. Lara took pity on her and took her outside to check them out up close and personal. S's response when she got close to them was that they were dirty:) And, one of the best parts, with all this extra help Mommy was actually able to have a real conversation for once:)
We had a great time catching up and eating yummy food!! By the time we got home we were glad to be back and are looking forward to staying in town for the first time in a while next weekend!!!
