Stucky Family Reunion

last weekend we took our first annual stucky family reunion trip. we went to spider creek resort in arkansas and spent some time camping and fishing and just hanging out with the family. it was great! here a just a few pictures to highlight...




my bro and i...

my four year old cousin's favorite thing to do was to play with rope. she called it "building". she tied me up, pretty impressive for a four year old!

the kansas stucky family

this is everybody, well almost everyone, chris and kacie were taking pictures

we had a pinata and no one could get it to break, so Grant and I took a swing at it. Not as good of a swing as Aunt Ruthie took though, because she swung so hard she feel on the ground, it was hilarious!

top moments of the weekend:
1. getting into a canoe with grant and my 9 year old cousin robert, only to be dumped out into water that was 42 degrees, before we even left the dock
2. aunt ruthie wipe-out while trying to break the pinata
3. fishing in the river and only catching a 2 in leaf
4. our motor quitting on the boat and having to paddle over 2 hours back to camp, ok that wasn't a highlight but it was still kinda funny, not at the moment, but funny now
5. listening to my 4 year old cousin haley sing "blessed be the name of the lord"
6. getting to spend time with family that we haven't seen in over 3 years
7. food, food, and food
8. trying to brave the cold river water to cool off a little before heading down the river further
9. seeing grandma happier than i have seen her in years

overall...a great weekend. i'm ready to go back..forget all this working business :]
