Holdaway Reunion --- Saturday

Saturday morning we had some thunderstorms beginning at about 5 AM. There was a nice break in the rain at about breakfast time, but thunderstorms resumed later in the morning and lasted for several hours. Softball was rained out. Swimming was rained out. But rain won't keep our family from having fun! Cousin Julie had the genius idea of getting sidewalk chalk out for the kids right before the rain began again. Easy clean-up for us and great fun for the kids!

Denni, Gabriel, Matthew, Grace and Bella draw outside the dining hall.

Can you tell that Andrew and Anthony have posed for pictures together before?

The older kids got a game of 4-Square started. What smart kids! Pictured, in totally random order, are Blake, Michael, Noah, Preston, Lydia, Denni, Jeffrey, and Joe.

The adults played some Euchre: Stacey, Erin, Isaac, Brian, Dad, and Eddie.

Yummy spaghetti and salads were served for Saturday dinner. Grace won the prize for messiest eater in the family.

We celebrated David's 75th birthday after dinner.

MaryJo and Katie enjoy some time outside after dinner.

Dan lost his Masonic ring near this dead tree on Thursday night. After Saturday's dinner we got the kids involved in searching for the ring.

While looking for the ring, Dan found a little toad and decided to show it to all of the kids.

Scott decided to look from the atop the dead tree. Any luck, Scott?

Look at all of the kids! Claire, Anabelle, Daniel, Mikey, Blake, Noah, Matthew, Andrew, Maria, Grace

In the evening, Mike and Joe Gallagher entertained us with some awesome music. They really are talented musicians. It was easily one of the most entertaining evenings EVER. My pictures were too dark to post on the blog.
