Hickman Family Reunion

A couple weeks ago we attended the Hickman Family Reunion at Pineview Reservoir. It was a lot of fun! We had a great time visiting with family we hadn't seen in a while. It was a great day in the sun!Here's Lucy and Abby gettin' geared up for a ride. The highlight of the day for the kids was the canoe. My cousin, Camille, and her husband, Foote, brought it and were kind enough to take them for rides (I was feeling to fat and lazy to play in the lake that day).
Lucy enjoyed some serious body boarding, too. She totally has her board face on.

This is my absolutely adorable neice, Ella. She played her heart out in the sand. She actually ate quite a bit of it, too.
Here are the proud owner's of the canoe taking pity on our children and giving them a ride. Notice Lucy and Abby hanging on and dragging next to the boat. I'm sure that made for quite the arm workout for the rowers.
Graham and George have become quite the playmates the last few months. It's so fun to watch them interact and talk to each other.
Graham spent a lot of the time chasing seagulls. He kept thinkin' he'd catch one eventually. Near the end of the gathering, he began feeding them Sun Chips. This did get him closer to the birds, but as for catching one.....maybe next time.
Last year we took a picture of all the pregnant cousins, so this year they decided to have a picture with all the babies that were born. My sister, Heidi, and Ella Bella are on the far right. They also took a picture of this year's pregnant peeps, but we won't be posting that picture. Let's just say that the pregnancy pounds are piling on a little faster than one would hope. Here's Graham and Oliver enjoying their after lunch. I think that's probably Graham's 12th cookie. I couldn't keep him away from the good stuff.

I am so grateful to have a family that still makes the effort to get together every year. I have so many memories with my cousins growing up and it's so fun to see them with their families and to have our children meet and spend time together.
