Saturday the 19th we had a Family reunion on my mothers side of the family!
Let me tell you why its called “Cowboy Jubilee”. Years ago when I was about 11 years old we met at my moms uncles ranch and had a reunion. But, it wasnt your every day reunion! They decided to make a family film and they called it, the Cowboy Jubilee! We all dressed up in cowboy garb, and some even went as far as talking in southern accents!
It was all very silly, and watching the video now is a bit embarrassing! In fact Mark watched it, and his comment was “I wasn’t even there, and I”M embarrassed!"
So now, 14 years later, they wanted to attempt another one! Kind of a “next generation” thing.
We met at Wheeler Farm, we started out with a smörgåsbord of food. My parents bought about 20 or more cowboy hats that were lots of fun, and a BIG hit!
Then we all took turns posing for family pictures then a HUGE group picture in our cowboy hats, even if you were too cool to wear a cowboy hat, you still worse one! haha!
Then a bunch of us went on a wagon ride.
The girls got to go on a pony ride, that was adorable! They had such a blast! These little pony’s were TINY cute little things! And they all had names of food, one was Marshmellow. The girls LOVED that! While they were on their pony ride, the guy leading them around showed us a goose with 12 eggs she was laying on. Later We fed ducks and geese and had a nice time walking around in the hot 100 degree weather! :)
The actual video part of this kinda fizzled a bit….probably because everyone was “too cool” to do it! ;) hehe (Me as well) haha
My mom is putting together a video on what was filmed and probably pictures put to video. So that will be fun to see! :) I’ll be posting pictures when we get them loaded off our camera.
So all in all, it was a nice Family Reunion! :)
