It's been so long since any of us posted, so here's a generic update. Joe, Whitney and Gracie will have to add the real pictures. In the future I promise to take some myself.
We started off the Hugh and Debbie Hardie reunion by attending the Hugh and Flora Hardie reunion. Joe Hardie, son of Hugh D, won the domino tournament. Many wonder'd if Ole Joe from Missoura had been there, if it woulda turned out differently. To Ole Joe we repeat the saddest words of humanity, "It could've been..."
The next morning was my favorite part of the big reunion - breakfast and softball. Softball is great for two reasons - 1) Softballs are bigger and therefore easier to hit 2) A 10 year is usually pitching which makes it even easier still. After hitting a few home runs I feel proud of myself for a few seconds before I remind myself of points 1 & 2, and then my head is deflated.
Later that Saturday, we headed to Branson, MO. Carl and Becca might disagree, but most in the Mid West know the truth. Branson shows draw all the true talent in the USA. New York City has nothing on this place!We attended two shows while we were there. By we I mean that mom and dad graciously volunteered to watch the grand kids, so their kids could get out and play. We saw the infamous Jim Stafford. He was just as funny as when we saw him years ago. Joe helped us win the beach ball audience game. The next day we attended a show called SIX. Six brothers sing and provide bass, percussion and melody without any instruments. They were really good.
The same day we saw SIX we also did some Go Kart racing. The picture below is the only photo I actually took during the trip. This is Whitney coming around a corner pretty quick. She is an amazing driver.
This is the rest of the field behind Whitney. She "blew our doors off" as Hardie dad's say.
Anyway, the others have the pictures, so hope they can post them.

That was a pretty acurate report. If Ole Joe hadn't been laying on the beaches of Hawaii he might have the infamous dominoe hanging on a wall in his house. The only think Dave and Mandee left out was how the air cond died at the beautiful 4 bedroom 4 bath cabin and how we had to move to the 3br and 3bath condo which had the great view of the lake and a great kitchen (which only the girls could appreciate. Thanks for the post Dave and Mandee.
Looks like a good time was "had by all!" Sure hated to miss it all, but we survived by enjoying the beautiful island of Maui for the week.
Sure glad to hear a Joe Hardie won the domino tournament. Guess that means he has to come back next year and defend the title. Better practice up, Old Joe is gonna PUT YOU DOWN!
