Today was my first time, but Granddaddy says it was the 20th Family Reunion held annually at Lake Gaston! The weather was gorgeous! Boy, did we have a house-full of kids! There was Kirby, Jameson, Brandon, Natalie, Elizabeth, Priscilla, Isaiah, Joshua, and Anna! I didn't know I had so many cousins!
They had some big kids there, named Susan, James, Terri, Laura, Stephen, Kimberly & Beverly (the twins), Andrea, Kirby (today was her 21st birthday!), Sara, Camryn (and her friend Cheyenne) and Jenny.
Some even bigger kids there were "Little Jimmy," Kay (it was her brother's lake house), Doug, Laura, Larry, Maude, Windell, Grandmommy, Uncle Dale, Uncle Greg and Aunt Karen.
And one of my Great Grandmas was there, too! That's a lot of people and it got noisy sometimes. Especially when I was trying to take a nap and everybody was eating lunch! They had hot dogs with chili, cheeseburgers, North Carolina barbecue, brunswick stew, blackeyed peas, potato salad, macaroni & cheese, and lots and lots of desserts, too!
I won first prize for being the youngest one there, but Anna came in second, 'cause she's three months older than me (see picture of us below). She knows how to sit up, eat Cheerios and EVERYTHING!
I got to swing on an outdoor swing for the first time! Mommy pushed me and I giggled the whole time! Granddaddy says he bought me one at a yard sale and he's going to put it up for me soon!
Some people went "tubing" behind a boat on the lake, but Mommy wouldn't let Granddaddy take me. He told me we'll have to wait until she's not looking before we can have some REAL fun! (But don't tell her. It's our little secret!)
I was sad because Daddy couldn't come with us. He had to work today. And Aunt Christy and Uncle Dan weren't there, either, because they're in Dallas. I'll get to see them at Christmas.
TTFN! (ta-ta for now!)
