Family reunion

A couple weeks ago we had a 'tri-annual' family reunion. Every three years the descendants of the late Henry & Anna Wulf get together on Memorial Weekend in Cheney, KS. The kick-off activity is a golf tourney on Saturday AM, then there is a catered meal and program on Saturday evening. Sunday AM there is 'church on the hill' -- a family-led service out at the original homestead outside of Cheney. This time around, Nathan volunteered to help on the committee and of course asked me to help because of my experience with event planning.

We needed to be in Cheney on Friday night, the night before the festivities to help set-up and then on Saturday we were there early again but didn't want the kids playing on the playground and getting stinky and dirty for the nice meal, so they got a little restless. To be realistic, that was a long time for the kiddos to be quiet and relatively behaved, given the fact that they had also ridden in the car for 45 minutes to get there. So when some of the other families (on Saturday evening) were letting their kids play in one corner of the gym, we let ours go over there too. The kids were having a grand time playing on the gym mats and with scooters and balls and other things.....it got a little rambunctuous a couple of times, but they were quieted and obeyed. They were having so much fun and Channdler, our little hyperactive guy who doesn't stop moving - EVER - really enjoyed the chance to get his wiggles out.

But the most impressive thing ever was when the band started playing:

Our little spirited Channdler heard the music start and immediatley came over to the stage, pulled up a chair and SAT directly in front of the stage, for the entire 30 mins or so that they played!
