Two weeks ago, in Calamus, Nebraska, the annual Morse Family Reunion was held and relatives showed up en-mass. It was three days and two nights of hanging out with fun people we pretty much only ever get to see at the reunion. Lots of merriment and story telling occurs and you learn stuff about you in-laws that may only ever come out of their own mouths on their death beds. This year was extra special because we brought our newest addition to the family. Grace is the 26th great grand child - and at only a year old, she is the 4th youngest. As I've said before, this is quite a switch from my family, where I have more grandparents than cousins. The photo above is only about half of the attendees. We are gathered for the float down the Calamus River (Google Map)
As part of the annual reunion, there are competitions where each family (teams are based on the Morse siblings) battles for the honor of being the most awesome. Games are rediculous and entertaining. This year, all games were "spud" themed and every competition involved a potato or potato product of some sort. Although the Hesseltine Krewe didn't pull out the win this year, I look forward to my shot at grabbing the trophy next year.
