Family Reunion

Last week was an eventful week for my girls and I. We went to the annual Powell Family reunion up at Thompson Flat which is between Pomerrelle and Lake Cleveland. We were there from Thursday until Saturday afternoon and we only left our camp ground one time to briefly drive to the top and the mountain and to stop by Lake Cleveland. Most of the time we spent hanging around the camground cathcing up with family and playing games. I spent a large prtion of the day Friday helping my uncle dig a hole and wrap a pig and then bury it in the hole to cook for dinner. Unfortunately we rushed the fire a little bit and the pig wasn't done by dinner time. So we rewrapped the pig and redid the fire and ate him for lunch one Saturday. It was my first time seeing a pig cooked this way and it was pretty good.

Saturday evening we went to my Dad's 50th birthday party down at the boat docks on the river. Cherie, Bridgelynn and I went out on the boat and even got on an intertube for a little bit. It was Bridgelynn's first time on a boat and on an innertube. She loved it! She was little nervous at first but once she got used to it she had a fun time.

Stay tuned I will add pictures in a little bit.
