To Be Young or To Be Old

When I was young I played with my cousins for hours.  We would ride horses and motorcycles, then go build forts and camp fires.  It was great fun and we have some great memories from those days ... so long ago.  

This weekend my mom's side of the family - the Lenhart's - had our family reunion in Tennessee.  We all met at my Uncle David's house, just outside of Nashville.  He has a wonderful place - 50 acres with rolling hills, a creek, horses, chickens, and even a little fawn.  A great place for my children to ride horses and  four wheelers, then go build forts and camp fires.  

One highlight of the trip was when the old guys (Gary and Kelly) played the youngsters (Tyler and Justin) in volleyball.  The dad's whooped their son's.   There were a few others that played in the game, but when you are as competitive as my family, it is all about father and son and one going down.  

     

We have had a great time.  I love my family!  Even if we are a little crazy.

My Today,
Christy

Some of the best families are a little crazy. :) I'm glad you all are getting to enjoy Tennessee. It's one of my favorite states ever. Have fun!

families,fun, snuggle-buggle times. competition with the "guys" to see who still holds the throne of TOP DOG. Front porch swings, lightnin bugs, guitars on the front porch and layed back atmosphere. These are memories we all cherish. too bad they pass by quickly, but they forever live in our hearts. smile!
