Family, Good Food and Fun.

This past weekend has been the annual McCurdy Family Reunion. Every year my Dad's parents, siblings, and their families all get together and we usually go camping. When we first started doing this we would camp down at my Great-Grandpa Hansen's farm. The last few years we've taken turns planning it and have since broadened our horizons and have seen more of the western countryside.



I was particularly blessed to marry someone who thinks family is as important as I do. Regardless of circumstances, we have done our best to spend as much time with both sides of the family as we can. Even with work and the budget of newlyweds, we've been able to work both family reunions into our summer plans.



This year we went back to the farm. It had been several years and a lot of the younger cousins had never been, or at least couldn't remember it. It was kinda neat to be back and to show it off to my husband. We got to do things that haven't been done in a while... like floating down the canal and playing in the inner tubes. We didn't get to stay as long as I would have liked, but life and work and other duties call. We got to roast marshmellows over the campfire. And play games and just hang out.



It was a good weekend full of family, good food and fun. What more could we ask for?
