Yancey Reunion

My mom decided it was about time we had a Yancey reunion. We haven't had one for like 2 or 3 years. So she planned one the weekend of the fair, Labor Day weekend, hoping that people would be able to come and to enjoy the fair as well. It turns out it was a bad weekend for most everyone and only a few from Carla's family ended up coming. Carla, Rachel, Caleb & Laura and their kids Evelyn & Adam. Charyn, Zander, & Jackson came for the day but she was on call for work and was unable to spend the rest of the weekend with us. Even though there was a small group of us we managed to have a good time. We went to Lava on Friday and spend the majority of the day swimming. We had planned on going to Ross Park and even called ahead to make sure they would be open. They said "yes thru the Labor day" so we packed a picnic lunch and got all ready to go. When we got to Ross park they were CLOSED!!! The didn't tell us they would be closed the Friday before Labor Day. Luckily Lava was open, so we hopped back in the car and drove a few more miles to Lava. The weather looked like it was going to storm, so were were hesitant to have to pay and then have to get out in a few minutes if it rained. But we were lucky and the storm clouds passed and we had a great time. We swam for about 3 1/2 hours and rode the slides a lot!! I didn't put sunscreen on the kids or me because it was so cloudy when we first got there. Boy did I pay for that later. I was burnt to a crisp!! But it was still worth it, having one last hurrah before school started. We were glad some family came and enjoyed the day with us.
