family *fun*

One weekend, not too long ago,

we had a *fun* family weekend.

For one reason or another- most of the Rinehart's were here

on and off all weekend.

Then we all got together on Sunday afternoon

for a big, *fun*, family party!

Being the girl who can take 200+ photos

at just one event, I was shocked and disappointed

to find that I only took a couple pictures here and there!

I guess we were just having too much *FUN*.

So, with all the lack of evidence-

what follows will be the short story version...

Beggar's Night- Saturday night on our street.

Good thing we found this cowboy to help us share some lollipops!

Cold night for these furry little ones.

Warm baths to scrub off the brown animal noses.

Together is way more fun!

Fishing games and Hulu-

that's where you could find these men

having some 'bonding time'... with

leftover lollipops.

Reed had fever- poor little guy. Made it hard for him

to enjoy all the company.

So glad Aunt Crystal came to read him some books.

A walk to the park-

to play a family game of baseball.

Then back home again to warm up with

a bowl full of soup. Or two.

Cousins, brothers, sisters, parents.

The *fun* went all around.

We celebrated birthdays- some older and bigger-

we sang and laughed and said:

"when family's far away; the times together

are sweet".
