Winward Family Reunion

This past weekend was the Winward Family Reunion. All that attended are decendants of Jason's grandparents, Thane and Evelyn Winward. There were over 200 people who attended and it was a blast!
Becca watching the Fish Pond where every kid got a cowboy hat
Becca's cowboy hat
Jason and his hurt knee
Janelle holding Mckenzie. Thanks to Jason's family for helping me with the kids!
Becca hanging out at the sandbox
Elena in her hat. Isn't she so cute!
Posing for the camera
This is where Jason slept. We borrowed this chair from Monica and Jon and it was a lifesaver for him!
Despite being laid up, Jason still had a great time!
Ouch! That looks painful!
Elena and Becca coloring
Loving the Slip-N-Slide
All the Eagle Scouts in the family. Pretty impressive if you ask me!
Me and Becca enjoying the Country Hoe-Down. This is where Jason sang his song. For a recording, see post below.
Jason and a very tired Elena
Mckenzie and her medal for "racing" in the under 1-year-old group (aka Mom carrying her across the finish line)
Me trying to convince Becca that is would be fun to race. She didn't think so.
I picked her up kicking and screaming to finish the race to get a medal. She said she didn't want one, but I knew that once the tantrum was over, she would change her mind. Bottom line: she was SO tired and needed a nap.
Elena running in the 4-year-old race. She even plowed over another girl.
Proudly displaying her medal and licorice
Becca's medal after she had calmed down
Me running in the Female 21-30 category. I won!
My medal

I got TWO pieces of licorice...and a cramp in my leg
The mothers/grandmothers stretching for their power-walk race
Uncle Lamar leading the stretching
Go, go! Jason's mom is in the red
Now the dad/grandpas turn
Jason's dad running sideways. Why? We do not know!
Elena and Ryan
Becca waiting for the pinata to break
Oh, so cute!
I love my Becca...even when she is cranky
Mckenzie hanging with Janelle again
Becca showing off her pinata candy
Well, we had a great time! It was wonderful to see everyone again and play so hard!

Looks like way too much fun. Good thing I wasn't there or I definitely would have beat you in that race. Haha!
