Family Reunion in Branson Missouri 2010

We had our first ever family reunion, which will be the first of many! Branson Missouri, isn't exactly a place I'd ever heard of before my mom told me about it and I watched "she's out of my league"

Jeff, Travis, and I moved to North Little Rock, Arkansas for the summer and is only 3 hours south of Branson. We were only able to stay for 4 days, but those four days were a blast!

We arrived Sunday night, while everyone else arrived Sunday morning. My parents have a timeshare out there. Jeff and I had our own while everyone else crowded in every available space to sleep in a 3 bedroom, 5 bed, 2 bath apt/hotel.

I believe it was Sunday night that we gathered around to talk about our Mission Statement or Motto that we were to present, however only Jeff and I were prepared. This was the first reunion that we have had where everyone excluding Jesse was present.

Mom, Dad, Dustin, Travis, Me, Jeff, Andrea, Mikke, Ayden, Norah, Ivy, and Lydia. Next year maybe there will be some more additions to the family, perhaps a sister-in-law or two, or some more kids! :0) the family is growing and it is so exciting, just the way it should be.

While we were there, the highlights consisted of Silver Dollar City Amusement Park and Rides - a two day pass, lip singing and dancing as a family and as groups, swimming, playing games, and talking - which seems to be something the Hook family just doesn't do very often... it is as though everything needs to be scheduled and planned out, and "hanging out" just doesn't get to happen... but in the end, our trip was a success! :)
