Hanks Family Reunion Summer 2012

This year's Hanks Family Reunion was held at Eskdale. Most of the family was able to make it. People everywhere. But, what do you expect with a family tree so large  ;)
lol
This family knows how to have fun!



Our large family tree started with this couple ;)

Pyramid of cuties ;)

Adam, and several others including me, watched the sun glow through the Lund fire smoke over a hundred miles away.............

What a goof!

Of course, with a family as large as our's the guys are able to form a team and play football  ;)





Deep conversation.......

While Amber treaded lightly in pretty sandles, the older girs played "ring around the rosy"........

...... then they all fell down  ;)

Until the next reunion!

So, tonight I plan to complete 3 - 4 posts on my blog in order to catch up a little bit. Hold on to your hats! Haha :D

Picnic at Strawberry Creek

At the end of June we had a picnic at Strawberry Creek. A bunch of the family was in town for the Hanks family reunion the same weekend; in fact the same day. It was a gorgeous morning. The weather was fantastic. It's been such a dry year that there weren't as many wild flowers, but there were a few next to the stream............

It's not very often all mom's grandkids are together; maybe once a year if we are lucky. Of course we always take full advantage of the moment and document it with a photo or few  ;)

So, here are the latest shots of all the little munchkins together:



There are 6 girls & 1 boy!
lol

Baby Lamb is also currently in pending, which means not only will there be another boy ("Yippee!") but this means the number of kids is............

8 !
