Sams' Family Reunion

We don't usually take a vacation, but when our annual reunion comes around we try not miss it.  God gave us a beautiful day from the minute we got in the Van around 7am.  We arrived at Douthat State Park up near Goshen VA.  Everyone was there, Dewey's 3 sisters, Helen,Lottie, Diane and 2 of his brothers, Buddy and Dave.  Of course the respective spouses were there as well...then other family I'd met at the previous reunion.  Was wonderful to see how much the children and grandchildren of bros and sisters have grown.  There was a marriage of one Niece who was so happy and glowing.  I was feeling really great so was able to take several walks and even went down the children's slide.  I'd taken a picture of Lottie going down last year.  There are 3 slides side by side so we went down together..you can only image how many years it's been since I'd been down one...hummm perhaps 25, 30 yrs..Yep!!!
I did take lost of photos of the waterfalls not far from where we were set up...all the food was wonderful as usual....we didn't want the day to end, but we knew it was going to be another 3 hrs back home so we started packing up about 5pm...by the time we stopped by Lottie's Cabin then on to her sister, Helen's and boots it was about 8pm before we got on the road.  Believe it or not, I didn't fall asleep at all which is very unusual for me..ehehhehe


















Here are some photos...am tired so will close this post and share more another day!!!  Blessings~~
