Hammer Family Reunion

Taylors Grandpa Hammer had a reunion with his brothers and sister. It was just a day thing at a park, but it was so fun to meet people that I had heard about and see other family members I already knew.

Playing ball with Daddy and Hunter


Hugging cousin Paxton. They are going to be great buddies.


The fun bouncy house

 We had to wait until the big cousins were out. 














Then the older cousins played some classic games- three legged races and wheelbarrow races.







Potato sack races

Ry just recently got her cast off from her broken leg, so she just hopped instead!












We ate lunch and had a little program. 

It was Aunt Charlene's birthday so all of her kids gave a tribute to her. I feel a special bond with her and Uncle Frank aka "Elder Johnston" because they were in Nauvoo the same time as me. I knew them before I knew Taylor! Elder Johnston always gave me hugs and he would get in trouble from our mission president, and he always teased me. I love seeing them during family get togethers now.





Al didn't get a nap...he was exhausted


Love these two!



We played some fun minute to win it games.














Uncle Jaron was hilarious during the cookie challenge- its the one where you have to move the cookie from your face down to your mouth. It was a fun day! We are so grateful for wonderful families and our heritage.
