Hamblin Family Reunion

We have really been enjoying family reunions lately! There is a huge difference in numbers between the Hamblin Family Reunion (Howard’s family) and the Burton Family Reunion (my family) but both reunions helped me realize how important they are. They help you stay connected as a family. Life get very busy and reunions are a wonderful time to slow things down and hang out with family.
This past weekend we headed up north to the Hamblin Family Reunion. We had a great time. The weather was wonderful and so was the company. Many of Howard’s cousins had just had babies and we had a lot of fun holding, playing and watching them!

Each morning as we headed back to Sherwood Forest, we saw elk. So beautiful!

Burton Family Reunion

We just got back from a wonderful week long vacation in the Pines. It was a much needed vacation…the week just flew by!

Each year we have a Burton Family reunion in Pinetop, AZ. We have a great time spending time with each other. We enjoyed lots of activities, goofy golf, shooting, bocce ball, wallyball, lots of card games.
