Hulse Reunion
























































After the airport we all started to get things ready for the reunion the next day. James and Becki got the Rhinos no problem but when Melody and Matt went to get ours they couldnt get Melodys hitch off so we werent able to rent one. Bummer. Later that night we went over to Kathys and ate and visited for awhile. Ben taught us the game signs and we tried playing it and actually got semi good at it. Saturday morning we woke up early and headed out to the four peaks area(I think). We set up camp and people took off on the Rhinos and the Ranger, while others visited, played horseshoes and the kids did crafts and an egg hunt. We had an absolute blast. It was hot but that didnt stop the fun. While riding we found some tunnels and went through no problem, well most of us. Chris and Carrie and their gang took the wrong tunnel and got stuck in some really deep mud. But with everyone working togther they were able to pull it out with another Rhino. Later on, the Ranger got stuck again going up a hill. Guess who was driving, yep Chris and Carrie - not their lucky day. But once again they were able to shimmy it down the cliff. I think everyone liked the challenge of trying to get the ranger and rhinos unstuck. Around 2pm we started to pack everything up but their was time for one last ride and while they were out a part broke off one of the Rhinos. These Hulses like to play hard. That night Mike and Lydia's family came over and played some games and ate ice cream. But everyone was pretty tired so the night didnt last too long. Sunday was Wesleys blessing and then Ben talked right after that. It was crazy getting kids to sit through two sacrament meetings but it was neat haveing the family their for both events. This weekend was awesome!!! Thanks James and Becki the reunion was an absolute success!!!

Bens Home!!!!














































So Matts brother Ben got home on Friday October 16th at 12pm. James, Becki and Family got to our house Thursday night around 10pm. We just got them set up and then all went to bed. Haylee was so excited to see her cousins. We were going to have her sleep with us to make room but she wanted to sleep with her cousins, it was really cute. So Friday morning we got up ate and got ready. Then Mike and Lydia came over with their Fam. and we all headed for the airport together. Haylee loved the airport, she was a little bumed at first because she thought she was going to actually get in a plane but once she got over that she had fun just looking at the planes through the windows. It was great to see Ben. It kind of feels like he never left in a way but it is still wierd seeing him at everything now. I guess Matt got a hold of the camera so here are some interesting pics at the airport. WELCOME HOME BEN!!!! We sure missed ya.
