Epps Family Reunion

After we got home from Sedona we woke up on Friday morning and headed to my uncle Ray's house which was only about 5 mins from our house! He has a small farm with enough room for everyone! They also had lots of events on Thursday but we missed it because we were in Sedona!
They had mingling, bread making, and pig roasting!

 cousin Jimmy, Nathan, Alyn, Uncle Mel and Ray

Uncle Mel

My parents were there setting up for breakfast! We helped them make lots of eggs, french toast and bacon! Everyone loved it! People came and went all day!

They had some fun with the animals also! They let the small kids chase ducks around to take home!


The next level of kids chased an oiled up pig and tried to get money off of a goat!



The older ones chased around a 1 year old cow with money taped to it! It was fun to watch! During most of the morning we watched kids ride on sheep! It was a pretty crazy rodeo!












Then we had hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch! We hung out and talked and watched the little kids play with the animals and chase around their ducks!





 The ice cream machine was a big hit and so was the snow cone machine my parents brought! 




 We watched the kids get rides on all the fun toys!



 The ponies and horses were a huge hit and most of the girls couldnt stay away!

 During the second half of the day little Luke got there and hung out with me a lot! He would sit on my lap and grab my hand and walk around! His dad, Jason came over and said "Hey Luke want to ride the hay ride?" and he said "yeah can Whitney come?" So i went and asked Kirk to join us! Luke took over the seat next to me so Kirk had to sit beside us! He cracks everyone up!

They had a guy come that played us some songs! He toured for a long time and wrote a lot of popular western songs! He wrote the theme songs for many old shows!
My uncle Mel gave us a little speech about geneology and prepardness with our year supplies!

We also got these fun shirts to represent the day!
