the cutest family ever...

family reunion 2008
This past weekend we had our Garrard Family Reunion @ my parents house, and we had the greatest time. When we got there on Thursday, we went to this big waterslide...its pretty much the classic redneck waterslide, cuz its just a big tarp down a grass hill, but that didn't stop us from having a great time on it. They had a zipline, and other fun things to do as well. When we got done there, we went to my parents house and pitched our tents, and put up a projector outside and had our own little theater, while watching "August Rush" (love that movie)...
The next morning, we got up bright and early and had the first annual "Garrard Family 5k fun Run/Walk/Push/Pull/Or whatever you can do to get you across the finish line" race. We had so much fun, my grandma even brought out her golf cart to get her to the end of the race. The rest of the day we just pretty much relaxed, the girls did crafts, the boys took naps. We had a killer kickball game, i know its kinda oldschool, but we love it, and always seem to make great memories while doing so. We had a great reunion, i love being with my family and i feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family, who is so close and enjoy being together so much. Thanks everyone for such a great time. ***see pictures below!!
