Ever since I was a little girl we have been going to the Heap Reunion. It is held the first week of August up in the White Mountains near Green's Peak. We decided this year to make it more of an Earl Patterson Family reunion this year. I was really happy at how many of the family turned out. We had a great time bonding and getting to know each other better. My boys had a blast (but we missed Emily greatly)! It was the first time in a long time that it didn't ever rain. The boys rode Uncle Don's quad's, found horny toads, carved cool walking sticks (thanks to Uncle Larry), played horseshoes, ran down Green's Peak, chopped down trees and played with their cousins. Thank you everyone for coming and thank you Ginna and family for all you did. A special thank you to Mom for the wonderful memory book of Dad that she made. I know it took a LOT of work.
Don took us on the quads up by where we used to camp. We found a tree that had the Grant's names carved in it and then it said + JoAnn. You can't tell from the picture, but it was really high up. The tree had grown a lot.
Loaded up to go run down Green's Peak
See how many actually run!
Ryan and Tyler getting ready to run . . .
or should I say "slide" with JoAnn and Leslie!
They made it!
