On day 3 of the Family Reunion, many of us hiked under the Natural Bridge in Natural Bridge State Park.
Even Peter and Alex made the trek.
Grammie came part of the way. Joseph and Lauren made the trip as well.
In some places the rocks are slippery, requiring teamwork to make it through.
David, SpiderMonkey, Connelly was out front scouting the path and exploring alternative routes the whole time. His adventurous side has really grown these last few years.
Here I am with my Sweetheart.
In the afternoon, Heather arranged for the kids to be able to paint small stones as a craft project. They were pretty cute.
In the evening we celebrated Grammie and Grandpa Mangum's 50th wedding anniversary.
Heather lead the charge in creating a large framed family picture (taken yesterday) as a gift. She also arranged a "fingerprint leaf" tree and a framed print from their wedding.
As a further treat, the family shared their talents. Lauren did a monologue from the Princess Bride. Lucy shared some of her drawings and artwork.
Our little family sang an abbreviated version of "Lava". David held up a cue card so that family members could sing along during the chorus. TJ and Joseph held up a blue sheet and waved it to represent the ocean. Sarah, Rebecca, Heidi and I played accompaniment on our ukuleles. It was fun to realize, in part, my dream of having a family band.
Another good report on a grand reunion! Fun to get a peek at the Natural Bridge and Spider Monkey David��
