Fischer Family Reunion

Technology has failed me today. This post comes to you late and without pics...unless one of the other many attempts made to publish it come through. 

I find myself waking up in a hotel room a couple hours from home. Sure we could have drove home last night but it was a long day and the older I get the more I appreciate a full nights sleep. 
The reason we were out of town was a family reunion on my wife's side. Some of these people see each other all the time, some just at wedding's and funerals. Others have been out of state for a long time. The emotions were flowing for some and a lot of hugs were exchanged.  That's really what a reunion is about, right?  Me, I'm not an outsider but I didnt know all these people in my youth so it's not the same. I did get to see some of my kids which was a nice Father's Day gift for me. 
The event was held on a beautiful piece of property complete with a log cabin and pond. I could get used to a place like that and I feel the location really was an important part of why people had a good time. Some even camped overnight including Chayse and Alaura who pedaled bikes 45 miles to get there. I don't remember ever having that kind of energy.  A personal highlight for me was when my cornhole sugar momma Karen and I kicked ass in bags, beating two of my daughters. Those kids thrive on beating me at games and I deny them whenever I can, and yesterday  I could. 
Happy Father's Day!
Later.
