Family Get-together

So close to the middle of September, Mister's family had a family barbecue picnic at a nearby "park." We had the usual stuff - hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, salads etc. It was great! After dinner some of us visited, some played. A few played some games of Hillbilly Golf. This is a game that Mister's Dad made himself and it's always a hit.

The idea is go get your sets of balls to wrap around one of the rungs on this ladder thing. Each rung is worth different points. I think the top rung is 1 point, middle is 2 points and bottom is 3. So this score would be 6. The first player or team to reach a pre-determined score (usually 15) wins.

                                                 Aunt Gina is winding up for her first throw!

Lewlew gets her turn - but she gets to stand a little closer. It always helps if you have your hand on your hip. Kylie and Katie are taking notes!

                                                Meanwhile Noodle and Zach play La crosse.

                                                    Zach is on a team and he's quite good!

             Some of them liked to show us how flexible they are. Way to go Maddie. Enjoy it while you can!

And then there's Lewlew who just "wanted to look at the sky." So dang cute!

 The best part was the Smore's - and oh my goodness were they delicious! Most of the family made their Smore's the "normal" way. But this is how I love them! I've talked before about this little bites of heaven! Good thing there were only 4 cookies left or I would have eaten more!
