Richard and Lynn made it home from Indiana, Michael and Sarah came from Nashville, Caleb and Justin came from Bloomington, Jan and Jaci Kirk, Michael and Ty Morioni came from Springfield, and the Pike County crew included Gary and Trena Martin, Bryan, Lila, Renae and Raven Martin, Greg, Braden and Caramia, Martin, Stason, Amber, Ashton and Zane Martin, Hope Sneeden and son Max, Andrew, Becca, Nate, and Saylor Sneeden, Ashlynn Martin and daughter Audrey Crow, and Brooklyn Crone. Everyone enjoyed a wonderful lunch, then spent the afternoon playing games, enjoying the cookies and candies Grandma Sneeden made, and just being together, laughing and telling stories. Although everyone missed Amy Martin who couldn’t be there, they enjoyed her peppermint fluff salad!
