Halchuck Reunion

The Halchuck Family reunion was August 27, and we traveled the 5 1/2 hours to New Philadelphia, Ohio to visit the family! First, here's a couple pictures from this last weekend.

After watching a boy work the machine, she wanted to figure it out...

Huge cantaloupe! We found this huge one at the local farmers market in town.

We traveled the I-80 toll road most of the way through Ohio, and we were traveling as Irene was getting ready to hit the east coast. We passed countless convoys of power company trucks heading east to help with the expected power outages. It was so neat to see so many different companies and people going over to help.

Now in New Philly, OH---the house on the left used to be my grandpa's. It was bright pink back then.


This house on the left didn't used to exist--this was my grandpa's property.

A couple days before the trip, Emma decided she wanted to walk! She wanted to play ring around the rosie with the other kids at daycare, and she has just continued from there. She still won't take many steps without holding somebody's hand, but she's gaining confidence.

Our part of the family--My mom & her husband, Mike along with my brother, Brian, and his wife, Stacey.

My mom and three of her brothers. See the family resemblance? =)

Thanks for a wonderful reunion! We enjoyed visiting with the Halchuck side of the family.
