Hawks Family Reunion

The Hawks family reunion was held at my Uncle Dal’s in Seratoga Springs, Utah.  They live on a golf course and have an association park, pool, and warm springs.  This was the first official reunion we have had in probably 10 years so there were many cousins I hadn’t seen in a long time as well as cousins’ kids I had never met.  Olivia really hit it off with these little ones, Serelle (Jen’s daughter) and Savannah (Julianne’s daughter).  These three were born only months apart and had so much fun together!

Getting a picture with all the “greats” was a challenge!  And this isn’t even all of them…there are 6 that were late or not present.

Olivia is finally willing to put her face in the water.

My cousin Taylor is just a big kid! He had so much fun throwing my kids in the water, and letting them “throw” him in as well.  It was almost creepy watching him and remembering his Dad, my uncle Steve, being the same way with me and my siblings when I was young!

The reunion ended with a “talent show”  I use that term loosely as there was very little talent shared!  The little ones did a kleenex pull and all participated in a challenge to get an oreo cookie from your forehead to your mouth without using your hands.

No Hawks gathering would be complete without a few songs from Grandpa Howdy and Grandma Sharon!
