Granny, Dakota, and Aunt Rae AnnThis weekend we gathered in Mason for the Bodenhamer Reunion. Roy's mother's side of the family. She has two sisters and one brother. Most of the family was in attendance.
It was great. Its such a blessings to be a part of a family of believers. Sometimes I think we take our family heritage for granted. Many thanks to our parents, aunts and uncles for teaching us about Jesus and the importance of that relationship.
Mathew scraping out the watermelon after it sat out all night and flies had feasted on it. Oh well, extra probiotics.
We had a fun weekend playing on the river. Roy took two groups on a float trip Sat.
Look closely at the arm above the elbow. I was getting Michael's life jacket on and buckled his arm in. Oops. He said it was a little too tight. 
The younger crew went first with mom's and dad's and the older crew left about 8p.m. for a moonlight float.
They decided it was lots of fun and very pretty floating in the calm water with the moonlight. The not so fun part came in when they couldn't see the rocks or the best way to float through the rapids. It was a fun experience, though they may stick to floating during the day. Roy's aunt Sheryl was a real trooper. She and Annie kayaked together on the night float. I'm not sure if she knew what she was getting into.
We didn't get pictures of the canoe rides, though we did get some river pic's. The group that didn't canoe played in the river. We all had fun. Patty and her cousin Sierra snuck up on me for a good dunking. I fought pretty hard so now I have a sore neck.
I did get them back though. I had a few other cousins sabotage their late night canoe ride and flip them. To bad we don't have pic's. We gathered Sunday morning after breakfast and had a church service.
Patty and cousin Mason led worship and Roy led us in a great discussion on Psalm 91. Praises to our King for His unending Love and Protection.

We identified it as a bull snake. Roy told the kids to shoo it off the porch. The courage started out high until they made it mad and it started its rattlesnake impersination. Dad got it off.
And, Stella has enjoyed playing with playdough and pretending she is baking cookies. Yum, Yum.
I tried to turn this pic and it didn't work.
It was great. Its awesome to watch big groups of students playing together. This year their ensemble was made up of 10 students.
They played Scarlet Cape and they were self directed. Mrs Schlaudt, their instructor gave them a wonderful compliment during rehersal on Sat. She said she had directed many, many ensembles over the years and they were her best.
We have a 10 year old boy. Wow!!! Happy Birthday, Joshua. We are so very proud of you. You are growing into a wonderful godly young man. Keep pursuing the Lord and letting Him guide your path.
Today we dug a big hole to plant a new tree in the yard. Some of us ^^ Worked "reeeallly" hard lol They did work though.
