Family Reunion

 I have to admit, the Hills know how to throw a party and not just any party, but a week long celebration of family, complete with food, boat rides, 4-wheelers, hikes, talent nights, devotionals, flag raising (scouts in uniform every morning and night), birthday party for the grandkids, fishing, family fun run, late night movie (Jane Eyre) and Buster's famous mechanical bull. It is THE EVENT of the year for all of the grandkids and for the adults too.
 
We do alot of "shuckin and jivin" as Grandpa Hill puts it, alot of tall tales and funny jokes. Plenty of dirty faces and the smell of smoke in our hair and on our clothes. The mosquitos were thicker this year but nothing a little pure deet couldn't handle.  
We laughed and played, listened to testimonies, admired the beautiful surroundings, listened to Katie's angelic voice and basically had ourselves a little piece of heaven. So glad we could go and partake.
