June 24-26th, 2011

Nick gets off at 12pm on Friday and comes home so we can finish packing and getting all the animals together so we can head to the Greene family reunion in Lake Park, GA. Finally, we get packed up and get the car loaded and then get the the 2 dogs and the bird in the car. We head in to Americus to drop Houston and Poohbear off at the vet to be boarded for the weekend. Houston also had to have his shots while we were there, so it took us a little while to get everything done. After we drop the dogs off, we get the bird settled in the back because he was sitting in my lap while the dogs were in the back. After we're all settle back in , we decide that we want to get something to eat. So....I decided I wanted Zaxby's and Nick wanted Carters. We got our food and ate it on the road. We also had to stop in DeSoto at the house, to get some things we needed for the weekend. Then, FINALLY we are off to our destination of the family reunion. We got to the 4-H camp somewhere between 4:30 and 5:00pm, where we unloaded the car of all of our stuff and Rudy too. We show off Rudy to Angela and Emmanuel (my cousin and her boyfriend) for a little while, all the while some other family are stopping by to see the bird too. We then head to the dining hall because it was almost time for dinner. For dinner we had pizza and there was watermelon and salad also. After dinner, we went back to Angela and Eman's room to visit the ferrets that they had brought with them. Those little furbabies were a hoot....so cute! After that, we went back to the dining hall to see what everyone was up to. We then sat down to play a game of dominoes, which was crazy. Nick had Rudy with him, so after a while, him and Rudy went back to the room to go to bed. I played a little bit more dominoes, but got to hurting, so ended up going to bed not too long after. Saturday we got up early and went to Chick-fil-a to get breakfast and took it back to the dining hall to eat with everyone. After breakfast, we all sat on the dock for a little while and watched Angela, Eman, and some others catch some fish. After that, we decided to go to walmart so we could get Nick a bathing suit, so we could go swimming. While we were in town, we decided to go to Petsmart too. We got Rudy a couple of toys and Gracie a toy, and Ginger some hair bows. After that we saw Old Navy next to Petsmart, so we decided to check it out. Nick ended up getting a couple of pairs of shorts and some flip flops. He bought me some flip flops too because they were on sale for $2. After that, we get a call from Angela's mom saying we needed to come back because they needed the jelly that we had picked up for her for lunch. So, we headed back and went to eat lunch. For lunch we had hot dogs. After lunch, we decided that we wanted to go swimming, so we went back to the room to get changed. After we got changed, we headed to the lake. Gracie went swimming with us too, she did super great and even got in the water by herself, which she has never done. We swam for a little while and Grace got tired, so we got out and went back to the room to get changed. After we changed, we decided we were super tired, so we ended up taking a nap. After we woke up, we decided to go down to the dinning hall, by this time, it was almost time for dinner. We ate chicken, baked beans, corn bread, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember lol. After dinner, they had a pinata for the kids to hit, so we all sat outside and watched the kids destroy the pinata. After that we took Madison to go see the ferrets in Angela and Eman's room. We ended up staying there for quite a while. Several people dropped in to see the ferrets while we were in there as well. After Madison's mom took her back to the dining hall, we all stayed in the room for a little bit, trying to decide what we wanted to do. We all decided that we were thirsty, so we went to the dining hall where we got drinks and sat to watch some of the people playing dominoes again. After a while, we decided we were all tired, so we went to the cabin to go to bed. Sunday, we get up early to start packing. We get everything packed and then get the car loaded. After we've gotten everything packed and the car loaded, and the room cleaned we went to say goodbye to everyone. We all stood outside for a while, chatting and saying our goodbyes. We also took some pictures together before we left. We leave the campground and head to Mcdonalds to get some breakfast, before making our way back home. All in all, it was a great reunion....so good to see family that we don't get to see too often. Just wished it lasted a little longer!
