Longhurst Reunion 2007

Every Labor Day weekend we go up to Greens Peak with all of the Longhurst Clan. This year the weather was great!!!! The past few years it has been really rainy. But this year it was perfect. A little rain here and there and plenty of sunshine but cool temperatures. When we left there around noon today it was 64. It was 109 when we got home 4 hours later.
We left Friday around noon and got there around 4 or 5. We went to Greer for dinner with Connie and Homer. Connie's kids and Christopher and Bailey went to the St. John-Round Valley football game. Saturday we had a yummy breakfast of french toast, bacon and juice. We went on a ATV ride with almost everyone that day. We had Arctic Cats and 4 wheelers that we rode on. We went back in the forest and it was beautiful. We had ham and turkey sandwiches, chips, and a lot of snacks to eat. For dinner we had Navajo Taco's that was delicious!!! Eat, eat, eat....I'm full. That evening we sat by the fire and Alison led us in a guessing game. Everyone wrote on a paper something about them that was true and then we had to guess who it was. We learned a lot about each other that night. Sunday we went for a walk up to the top of a mountain by our camp. The altitude was pretty high. Alison, Sherrie, McKay, Shauna, and Lilly went down the other side and around. Eileen, Tory, Jason and I went back down the mountain back to camp. It was a fun day. Bailey's parents and sister came for the afternoon and evening. We had chicken salad sandwiches and chips for lunch and of course some more snacks. We played Cornhole and barbecued steak and chicken and had corn on the cob and salad and potatoes. Yum, Yum!!!! Full again! It was also Meagan's 22nd birthday. They made a cherry cobbler in the dutch oven for her. Then we sat by the fire and tried to guess songs by just one word. It was fun. Monday we had another yummy breakfast of egg and bacon burritos. Other families had different things for breakfast and lunch. Through out the days we rode the 4 wheelers and Artic Cats and played Cornhole and that golfball throw game (I don't know the name of it), some people read and took a little nap. I think we all had a great time this year. We are so lucky to have the family that we have. I'm thankful for my sisters and their families and of course my own family. We missed all the families that couldn't make it this year though. I really missed Heather and her family.
It has been a fun family tradition and I hope we can always get together and be close to each other. Pictures or video coming...
