Hyde Family '08 part 1

After about 4 hours waiting to get on a flight an 10 hours on the same plane... we arrived in Fallon for our R. Mark Hyde Family Reunion! We were there for a week full action packed days. (warning there are about 600 pictures from this week)



The Hyde Grandkids

Melia and Goldie

Jackson... one of my favorite shots


One of the events at the reunion was the Family Olympics. The course was planned out by my very own husband.
We there are 2 partners on each team and 2 teams competing at the same time. The team with the fastest time wins.



On your mark... get set... go!








off the ATV to get the kayak










load the kayak on the ATV



race around the driveway to the designated entrance of the river






unload the ATV






partner A gets into the kayak and kayaks down the river while partner B


races back to the ATV and drives back to the pickup point




jumps off the ATV, as you can see, Scott excelled in the portion of the race








helps kayaking partner A out of the river





then both partners get one arm and one leg tied together








and with one mallet take a croquet ball through a short course (this is where I did not excel)





And cross the finish line!!!



Danny and Annie won with the fastest time
It was a real success
