Beard Family Reunion!

We had a wonderful time at the Mary Beard Family Reunion over Labor Day Weekend at the farm.  We spent all day Sunday with Shonn's relatives on his mom's side. Janis has two sisters - Aunt Vicki and Aunt Lisa, and they both have children (Shonn's cousins) and grandchildren.  While we were there on Sunday, we got to spend time with Aunt Vicki's family and Grandma Mary.  Aunt Vicki's kids are Dinisha and Chris, and they are both married (to Bryan and Ivy, respectively - haha) and have kids of their own.  Chris and Ivy's kiddos are almost exactly the same age as Beckett and Harper so it's really fun to get the kids together, although we don't do it very often.  We also got to spend time with Jay and his girlfriend, Nicole, and Adam and Jim.  The kids had a blast!  Beckett played football with Uncle Adam and Uncle Jay cuddled with Harpy.  Papa held Harper for a long time, too.

Here are some pictures from the day:

Jasmine and Harper talk shop over pacis.  In a few years, it will be lip gloss.

Cuddling with Grandma Mary!

Chris and Ivy brought a play pool and they set it up on the back patio.  The kids loved it!

Beckett and Julian played in "The forest" with sticks, pine cones, and pine needles. 

Beckett shows Aiwyn his stick gun.

The girls hung out on the back patio.

Fun with Papa.

Cuddling with Uncle Jay

Dinisha brought supplies to make homemade ice cream and it was not only delicious but also fun! Beckett and MeeMaw have a comparison between store-bought and homemade ice cream. They decided both were pretty tasty!
