Family reunion time! Most of Freeman’s siblings and their families gathered at Mom and Dad Lintons for a major party. That’s the only way the Lintons do parties. Major.
The first day we played at a nearby lake, with boats and waterskis. The kids were in heaven. That afternoon Mom and Dad arranged for a portable pizza oven to come to their house and bake pizzas for us. So fun!
The next day was a county fair at the farm. Mom and Dad own a small ranchette an hour north of their home. Freeman’s brother Isaac and his family live there. They had face painting, fishing, haystack hunting, snow cone making, a chicken rodeo (!) and a pie eating contest.
Grandma the prize lady.
Wowzers! For the chicken rodeo, all the kids lined up and we let all the chickens loose. The kids scrambled to catch chickens and toss them back in the pen. It was mayhem!! Kids laughing, kids crying, chickens crying, wings flapping, the whole bit.
Look out you poor chickens.
Get it, Ty!
Now the men take a stab at it.
Go Dad!
Tyler won the pie eating contest. That’s my boy.
Other highlights included a service project at the farm, lots of cousin play time, family pictures, birthday parties, fourth of july parade, bbq and fireworks, and lots of eating yummy food. Mom and Dad are masters at creating memorable events.
Alas, all good things must come to an end. If that wasn’t enough stimulation, three days later we got on a plane!....
CHicken rodeo....I like it...
