Vacation Part 1, Hood Reunion

We sure had a lot of fun in Utah. Here are some of the highlights from the Hood Reunion. The day before we got together with my grandparents, uncles and aunts, cousins, and 2nd cousins. It was at a park and it was nice to see everyone. One of my Uncles is a firefighter and he was on call so he brought his fire engine with him and Matt got to check it out. Too cool!


At the reunion their was a ton of people there. We got to play relay games and Matt was on my team. He loved playing with the big kids. And as always my Hubie was a trooper meeting tons of people he didn't know and taking care of Matt so I could chat. Well it started to rain so some of my cousins and us decided to go bowling till we met later for dinner and a show.

Yes that is me trying to bowl, I paid for it later. Who knew bowling had such fun things for little kids. And of course bowling is thirsty work so a quick pit stop for a refreshing drink (got to teach the kid what the good stuff is). I wanted to have one of these everyday, they just don't make them in Wisconsin.

Matt thinks they are delicious!

Visiting with family was so much fun I had wished we had more time. My aunt Dawn (with the help of her son) did a great job putting together a dvd she made from pictures and interviews of my grandpa and his siblings. It was fun to see what they had to say.

Stay tuned for more vacation highlights, Patten reunion and in between.
