Labor Day


Every year for Labor Day weekend my extended family has a HUGE get together. Many people camp & some just show up for dinner on Sunday (this year we served around 100). My cousins wife Paula & I put it together this year with help from Butch & Kelly who willingly let us set up camp in their yard & put their teenage sons to work on our behalf (many thanks). We had a HO'Down theme this year & Paula had some really hilarious games she put together including a pie eating contest (a miniature version which Moriah & Riley joined in on below), barrel racing, cowboy relay (way to go aunt Sukie-above) & a fry pan throwing contest that I narrowly lost (5points) to my cousin Cassie. We had great weather & I got to enjoy the comfort of my In-Laws motor home instead of a tent (Thank you Mom & Dad). By the time we made it home on Monday I was exhausted! I will maybe sign up to do it again in another 10 years;)
