Labor Day Weekend

This was a jam packed Labor Day weekend. My side of the family has a reunion this weekend. The location changes every year and this year it was in Hannibal, MO. I worked in Hannibal on Thursday-Friday so it did not make sense for me to drive home and turn around and drive back to Hannibal. So J and the kids drove down late Friday to meet me
in Hannibal. We stayed Friday at the Quality Inn. It was very nice. The room was about $72 plus tax, etc. They have a nice indoor pool and hot tub. They serve a full breakfast and have a large common area. I would give it a thumbs up for any one traveling there.

The attendance at the reunion on Sunday was a bit light but I still got to see lots of family. The kids got to swim and we played games after the picnic at Huckleberry Park. The family was staying at the Super 8 so we moved over to that hotel for Saturday and Sunday.

Learned we have new cousins! Sandra D. told me that Lena has 7 new g-grands this year. Spencer had a boy named Chase. Samantha had a girl named Leah over Labor Day weekend. Oh boy, I don't remember the others. I should have written it down. Don't tell me that doesn't happen to you...because it happens to everyone.

I am working on a couple of crafty items for the IL/MO Ladies Retreat this weekend, name tags, table decorations, and a craft time for the ladies. I will try to get some pictures on here. I have gotten so bad about taking pictures. I really need to get with the program as it is a great help to me later when I want a reminder of what we did at each event. I will post more on it later.
