Last weekend I was able to go home and see the family for a reunion. It was one of the most incredible trips that I've taken. We had an uncle come back from the Phillipines working contract for the military. My cousin came back from Germany before being shipped to Romania, and then Honduras. My other cousin and her husband brought their 4 and 6 year old. I hadn't met the kids yet. They are awesome! There was 28 of us at the cabin. We only missed one of the cousins from Minnesota. Otherwise, the whole Turner clan got together. Even my brother made it back from Alaska.
He's quite the rolling stone! He Rocks My Face Off. (I have the greatest brothers! Both of them Rock My Face Off!!) So, when we got a chance, my brother showed me some of his pictures from being in Alaska. He is currently working with a white-water rafting company. He rows a group down the water 2-3 times a day. Play and working out for your job in a beautiful place - what a gig.
It is incredible up there. Despite the 12 minutes of "sundown" they experienced on June 21st, I could live there. Amazing sites. Amazing adventures. Salmon galore! I can only imagine the hunting!
Between white-water runs he decided to pull a prank on some people. He had a friend get his camera and utilize the movie recorder function to capture the whole thing. (I will soon, hopefully, have the movie to share). He dressed up in a bear suit. Seriously, the whole thing was awesome. He gets on the river side and walks like a bear. He times it perfectly for when the next group comes down the river. It's a group of Japanese vacationers. As they pass, they whip out their tele-photo lenses and start snapping pictures. They thought he was a bear!! Awesome!! But what was even better was when, on the video, you see him stand up and start dancing like their is no tomorrow. The Sprinkler. Air Guitar. Every 80's move you've ever thought about. It was HA-LARIOUS! I about died!
Family is good for the soul! I haven't laughed like I did that weekend in a long, long time! Cherish your loved ones!
