What a good time we had at the family reunion! Now we're home, tired, with piles of laundry to do and plenty of memories to savor.
Coming home would have been even better if the digs hadn't been skunked while we were gone. They were so glad to see us! We weren't nearly as glad to see them. A little rain shower seems to have dissipated the smell outside but for some reason I can still smell it in the house, even though our dogs are outside dogs and don't come in. Maybe it's my imagination?
This year I did not take many photos of the reunion; instead my camera aimed itself at the surroundings. A long hike Saturday morning yielded some good shots, and on the way home today I found a wildflower that I have always wanted to see, so I'll have some things to post later this week.
For now, these are pictures of some of the kids doing the "Toody Ta" with my sister Maggie. What a ham she can be! The kids love this and look forward to it every year. This year she said, "all kids 10 and under come on up." A hand shot up and a boy asked, "Can it be all kids 13 and under? I'm 12 and I want to do it too!"
I LOVE the Tooty Ta! I seen it once performed by a clown. It is hilarious and so much fun. Of course, I did it too.
ReplyDeleteI would love to know the words to that. It's been so long that I can't remember them. But I feel sure that if I had the words I would remember the rest. Maybe I should look it up on You Tube.
