The Eyler Family Reunion 8-22-10

Yesterday we attended the Eyler Family Reunion in Rocky Ridge, MD. Before we started holding the reunion here, we held it at a park in Taneytown, MD where I provided children's games. With the reunion held at Rocky Ridge, there is no need for children's games because the park provides enough fun of it's own!

The main attraction is this large wooden slide. We had heard that someone recently received a large splinter from using the slide, paramedics had to be called! We feared the slide would be closed! We were thrilled when we pulled into the parking lot and saw that it was open!

My niece Jennifer and her youngest son Logen.

Kaden enjoys the horse swings just as much as the giant slide!

Kaden and Ashton on the large merry-go-round.

Brady has a talk with Nan Nan, Dale's mother.

Kassie and Nan Nan discuss art and music.

Brady has a chat with Uncle Jesse, the brother to Dale's father.

At the end of the afternoon while cleaning up, Dale's Aunt Rosy gave us the leftover foods she had brought. She said it was only her at home and it wouldn't get eaten. It was the same for others who also gave us their food! I came home with more food than what I brought... lots of hot dogs chopped up into a special sauce, 13 hot dog rolls, 77 hamburger rolls, pasta salad, two packs of unopened cookies, 34 Little Debbie snacks, and lots of individual serving size bags of chips! This Wednesday when school starts I'll be packing seven lunches a day, I now have a good supply to get me started!
