Driving on busy highways and byways causes me great anxiety, and since Dale couldn't attend the reunion because of playing music, my brother Dave drove me, using my van, to Mohrsville for the Fox Reunion.
Our first stop was to place fresh flowers on Mom and Dad's graves.
Second on the agenda was to eat! This is my Aunt Jean (Dad's brother's wife) with her granddaughter Katelyn.

My brother Dave and cousin Ken catch up on the latest happenings.
The highlight for the kids each year are the tractor rides given by my cousin's husband.
I had children's games this year. I've actually had them for the past several years, but if my kids are the only ones that show up for the reunion, they don't want to play them. They would rather join in on the adult bingo game. Since my cousin Kurt is a kid at heart, he joined us! Kurt and Kenzie won the barnyard peanut search.
For this game you had to get the root beer barrel at the end of your string to go into the neck of the soda bottle without using your hands. We made an exception for Kaden and Katelyn.
My brother Tim, who also played the children's games, was on the opposite team of Kurt. It was between the two of them for the win!
Katelyn experienced her first taste of bubble gum as part of the balloon bubble gum race. All others were required to blow a bubble with their gum after popping their balloon and retrieving the gum, except for Kaden and Katelyn.
Katelyn, Kaden and Aunt Jean watch to see who can be the first to whistle after eating five saltine crackers.
While I was busy photographing Kurt, Mitch was whistling for the win!
For this game teams had to collect the most pieces of yarn, then tie them together, seeing who had the longest string of yarn for the win. By this time the adult bingo game was over, giving us a few more participants.
Kurt was elected chief knot tier for his team, with Brady as an assistant.
Fern tries to distract Kurt with ice cold water down the back, but Kurt stayed focused!
Kurt and Brady's team had the longer string!
Fern, being the seamstress that she is, made a kite, giving her brother Kurt the opportunity to fly it at the reunion.
Cousins pose for pictures!
