Tuckett Family Reunion

What wonderful people are the decendents and families of Loa and Leonard Tuckett!!
We were pleased to have the reunion at our home and it was such a great time!
With such an active group, there was fun conversations and activities all over the yard. The zip line was a big hit with the kids and even some adults. There was some pretty intense volleyball ( in honor of the summer olympics in Bejing ) Gary and Diane brought balls, mits, and a shooting game with rubber band guns and milk carton targets though the targets quickly became the moving ones (each other). Jeannies family brought a fun game with golf balls on ropes - I don't know the name of the game, but it is great fun. The kids also enjoyed the playset and had a fabulous time in the pool, with Jeff serving valiantly as Lifeguard! The food everyone brought was as always fantastic and we had a special treat of homemade rootbeer!! The most fun for me was observing everyone having such a great time and reconnecting. There was quite a few of us though it was only about 1/3 of our group.

Kenna and Lance were unable to attend, because Kenna got kidney stones (her first) and then a terrible kidney infection that had her down for days!! I am very happy to report that the huge antibiotic shots they gave her were successful and she is back on top of her game!!
