"I Never Dreamed of a Day Like This..."

We spent last weekend in Paris, TX for multiple family reunions. The kids had a good ol' country time. Morgan's assessment– "I never dreamed of a day like this"– pretty much sums it up. We ran & jumped on hay bales, went to the Crutchfield reunion, then the Pumpkin Festival at the Paris square, then Pyles' cemetery, and finally a weenie roast at Aunt Darenda's house (a small Hicks family reunion).

This was taken at the Pumpkin Festival downtown.

                                          At Pyles' Cemetery, near some old family graves.

It looks like she's mourning her relative, but she's really grumpy because we had to wake her up to come out here.

                                  We all worked hard to get this smile out of her.

                                                          The tradition lives on.

It's hard to see them here, but there was a herd of longhorn cattle behind James & Darenda's property.
