HaHo Family Reunion

For our second year, we were able to partake in the annual Hamra-Homra(Ha-Ho) Famiky Reunion in Hot Springs Arkansas. Family members from far and wide travel for swimming, golf, dancing and lots of reminiscing. There wre so many little ones this year, Sawyer had the best time. He latched on to a few in particular. Josiah "Si", one of John's distant cousins, looks exactly like Sawyer's favorite character in Sandlot "ya-ya". So, he followed him around all weekend, calling him that. Si was a very good sport and entertained him. He was very sad to leave but we are very excited for next year because we are stating in a brand new resort!

Here are my tons of pics!!!

Weekend in Pictures: Family Reunion & Father's Day

We attended our first Hamra/Homra Family Reunion as a family this past weekend in Hot Springs, Arkansas. They have been hosting the reunion for many many years although John hasn't attended since he was in middle school. Friday night, his grandfather's sister-in-law Carolyn hosted a cocktail party at her beautiful home in Little Rock. After drinks, we all went to dinner together at this adorable little restaurant Caper's.

Saturday, we drove to Hot Springs for the rest of the festivities. We had such a wonderful time and we loved getting to introduce Sawyer to all the other family & kiddos. He LOVED the dancing & swimming (see dancing videos HERE). We drove back Sunday and were able to meet John's Mom in Harrison for lunch. When we arrived back in Springfield we also celebrating Father's Day with my parents. We swam a little and made ice cream sundaes (my dad choose a root beer float). Overall, it was a busy family weekend but a great way to celebrate the awesome Dads we have in our lives.
