"We-Are-FAM-I-LY"

Today was our annual Hyde Family Reunion. We've been having the gathering for about twenty years, and it originally started as a Thanksgiving tradition, but has moved to the summer so the little ones could swim at the clubhouse. This was Shelby's first year, so she got to meet all the aunts, uncles, and cousins today. We had a huge spread of food and lots of great catching up and conversation. We even had an "early birthday" cake for Me-Me, who turns 89 in October. Landon, you and Daddy joined Emma and Kylie in the pool and had a great time splashing about. You are really enjoying the water, and even going all the way under. Chris and Becky brought their dog, Pee-Wee, who wasn't real sure about you, but you tried so hard to make friends with him. Everyone thought you and Shelby were so cute! When everyone was leaving, you told Aunt Janene, "I'm glad you got to meet me." So funny! It was a great day; so good to get together with all your family on JuJu's side.
