After the Wedding

David and Catie's wedding was on Friday night, so on Saturday we had a family reunion. (Special thanks to Aunt Karen and Uncle Todd for organizing the activities.)

Lunch at Pizza Hut - we filled half the restaurant!

Me (Rebecca) with Kaitlyn.

After lunch we caravaned to Connor Prairie where we experienced what life was like on the frontier. We had a blast!

The Brocker and Williams (Aunt Karen's family) clans. (36 Brockers + 10 Williams)

Daniel and Michael trying to decide where to go first.

There was a baseball game in progress and guests were allowed to jump in and play, so most of the boys played for 1-2 hours for the Farmhand's team. Back in that time period they played without gloves - just bare hands - and the rules were slightly different. Sarah played as well and astonished everyone by catching a fly ball - without a glove!

Kristen, Bethany, and Maggie.

Gramma directing the "choir" made up of little girls and Andrew as they sing "Jesus Loves Me." The church had great accoustics so the guys out on the ball field could even hear them.

Hannah and Katherine modeling some fancy hats.
Everything was hands-on almost nothing was off limits for exploring/touching.

Elizabeth, Abe, and Kristen racing hoops. Kristen won!

Stephanie and I watched a chicken lay an egg. Pretty neat!
Cal got to carry the warm egg to the kitchen.

The boys also spent a lot of time tomahawk throwing. After they mastered hitting the target logs, they decided to make it hard and put a sticker on the log and were trying to hit that! Michael (pictured) came the closest by sticking the tomahawk presicely on the edge of the sticker.
