A Hurst First

While we have had lots of family get togethers, this is the first time we've had a family reunion (other than for weddings) since Mom and Dad passed away. Mom and Dad were always the draw. The kids would gather to see the folks, and see each other as a by-product - but do we really like each other well enough to get together just to see each other? Thankfully, we do!

We had a great time. Craig and Jill were AMAZING hosts. The food was outstanding. Floating down the river was the best! Craig went around in his kayak offering sugar sustenance. Halle, for one, thought it was great. She'd clamor, "Where is HIM?" She is a candy addict like Great Grandma Hurst.

It was great to see Cherri/Steve, Brandon/Steph/Bridger, and Lisa/Ben/Sarah/Abby/Griffin/Molly. What good babies and super-moms!

It was fun to have Brandon/Trisha/Halle/Zach, Greg, Kram/Lori/Brooke/Drew with us. The kids loved the loft, and luckily no one was injured (even though Zach did try jumping from the ladder to the beds below). Each night was filled with "earned" hot-tubbing and games until the wee hours.

Gary and Lori were great! I appreciate the IPAD and Garmin lessons!

We definitely need a do-over to get all the rest of the family together.

A Do Over! I think we should already be planning for next year's! Gary and Lori and Steve and Connie need to get their heads together and tell us a date.

That was actually not Ashley, but Cherri who said the last comment! I should check to see who is logged in!
