Family Reunion

This weekend was the Tree's Family Reunion (mom's side of the family). The majority of the family lives in or around Dallas area, but since the extended family doesn't really ever get together during the year, we have a reunion every fall. This year we weren't able to go home for the whole weekend so we just made a day trip. Me, Michael, Phillip and Kristen all carpooled together which was pretty fun. Phillip just got back from a week in France for work (yeah he has an awesome job) so he told us all about the fun things he did and had lots of pictures to show.

The turn-out this year was a little smaller than other years, but there was still more than plenty of great food. Plus it was held at my parent's house so there was lots of room for the kids (little and big) to run around and play. Probably the highlight of the day was when my parent's dog Alex got out and ran down to the corner (at the edge of their property of 80 acres are two cross streets and a big ditch), found a big nest of rats in a hole and was killing them one at a time and barking up a storm. We didn't know he was down there until the police were called by 2 women who stopped to see what he was doing. My dad went and got him and when he got back told us that the women had gotten out of their car and were cheering him on! Pretty hilarious.

In other news, Meg (foster dog) was adopted on Saturday by a really sweet older couple who will probably spoil her rotten, so we are back to a one-dog home until the next dog comes along!
