Picton Family Reunion

This weekend was the Picton Family Reunion. Wes's family gets together in September every year at his Mother's and Poppie's farm in Picton. It's a nice time to visit and catch up on what everyone has being doing the past year. Wes's family was looking forward to meeting Sarah - some of them - for the first time - Wes's family is spread out so with the distance they don't get together as often as they would like.

Sarah has been a couple of times now to the farm and although she was a bit afraid of the horses at first - this weekend all she wanted to do was pet the horses - here she is petting her horse Princess.

She was a bit unhappy about Pink Kitty riding Princess - Sarah actually did do a quick - Daddy assisted - ride on Sue but unfortunately I didn't have the camera with me at the time - guess we will have to get the photographic evidence next trip.

Sarah's favourite is still, of course, the barn cat.
We arrived on Friday - some of Wes's family came on Friday as well and the rest came on Saturday. There were several small kids for Sarah to play with which was great - Sarah seemed to be quite comfortable playing with them. Here she is on Friday playing with Tashiana who was very excited to meet Sarah and even gave her a lovely little grey teddy.Friday was a busy day - Poppy makes a great fire for the evening - Sarah was a bit nervous at first about the fire but she was also very tired so we didn't get to stay too late to watch much of the fire.

The program for the weekend is very relaxed - there is lots for everyone to do and we have lots of time for visiting - the only requirement is that we eat all the food or Paul doesn't allow us to leave on Sunday, LOL - and there is a lot of food.

Paul has a beautiful antique Mustang and Sarah was not going to be left out of any car activity. She had to get her picture taken in the car while the men were tinkering with the engine. As you can see - she had the celebrity look going for her and seemed quite comfortable behind the wheel.

Everyone had lots of time to mull around and visit and Sarah kept herself busy exploring different areas of the farm.
Sarah felt okay about letting Pink Kitty ride the statue horse and cow on the front lawn.
It was a very busy weekend for Sarah. She checked out some flowers with her Uncle David.Exploring the front garden.

A little swing in the hammock.

Playing skip rope with Daddy.
The guys got together for a bit of barn basket ball - not something you would see very often.

Sarah wanted to go looking for the horse out back to pet once again but I guess all the day's activities finally caught up and - well you can see Daddy had to bring her back without the horses.
Ultimately, Sunday arrived and then it was time to say our good-byes for another year.

Here's the whole gang, except for the photographers - there were a couple who aren't in the picture.

Another successful Annual Reunion - Sarah had this much fun.

See everyone next year!
