reunion. part one.

this past weekend, we traveled to eureka springs/beaver lake for the second annual pratt family reunion. last year, we didn't make it and so i wanted to make sure we were able to go this time. as a kid, there was nothing i loved more than christmas time.

christmas time was when everyone from both sides of the family would get together. we all lived so far apart, and so christmas always held such special memories for me.

i hope pratt feels the same way. only i'd love nothing more than for him to see his cousins and grandparents much more frequently.

we stayed in a house on beaver lake, which was beautiful. actually we crossed tablerock lake to get to the house. it's the same lake that's in branson.

i think pratt really enjoyed being the center of attention.

friday night we all met at my uncle, ryp's house. it's on several acres on the top of a mountain. right below him is the white river. if you stand on his balcony and look over, you can see it. northern arkansas is just fantastic. everything about it. here is the famiy looking at old pictures.

ryp teaching pratt how to start bonfires. trouble. that's all this is. trouble.
