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
It was a real success
