This past weekend was the second full weekend in August and that means it was time to head up to the good ole Aledo Community Center for a family reunion of my dad's side. It's about as close to something out of Little House on the Prairie as you will see these days. Saturday is a day for fellowship, craft exchange, and potluck lunch. Sunday is a church service (Baptist style) with lots of old hymns and a message brought by a family member followed by another potluck lunch and family pictures. I really don't know how many people have the privilege of doing something like this every year, but then again not many people get the same privilege of growing up within walking distance of their grandmother's house and wearing out a path going there over the years.
This is my Nana's clan. It has been such a joy to watch my kids with her. Bailey is finally old enough to know where she keeps her toys and goes right there to get them when we are visiting. Nana of course loves that Bailey knows and remembers her.
Here are two of the kids that Tori took playing around with her new camera.
During the trip we also got to go visit my dad and Uncle Fun at the newly remodeled Tackett Pharmacy with compounding lab. Not sure if Pa's helpers actually helped any, but it was fun for them to get to see him at his real job. Of course it took Bailey no time to make herself at home and find the suckers.
And there are always adventures to be had at my parents place.
During one of our gator rides we go to see a choo-choo up close. (Look to the middle left of the picture)
And Bailey feeding her favorite cow Becky.
