By the way this group of guys played cards until the wee hours of the morning...so maybe all in all it was a good $100 spent....

$100 deck of cards?
Would you pay $100.00 for a deck of cards that didn't have any 2's or 3's? Well Uncle Greg sure did. It was the talk of the reunion for most of the night. I mean why would someone do that? Uncle Greg told my husband, and my sister's husband that he couldn't tell them because they were not Upholds.....LOL Now that is funny. So they came to me and asked me to find out since I was an Uphold.....LOL

The scoop is this guy in the orange shirt, Uncle Greg, loves the family reunion. He wants us to keep having the family reunion, and he just wanted to donate, and have a little fun all at the same time....LOL That's why we love you, you big lug....LOL
Is this Harmony or the Devil?
If you have any questions or concerns or apologies to make about this reunion you really need to speak to her directly. If speaking to her directly isn't comfortable for you, send a text, an email, or a letter. I mean it is the adult thing to do.
Now that that has been said we can move on with our lives...LOL
Also thanks to Uncle Greg, and Aunt Michelle for putting in the volleyball court, and letting us have the reunion at the pavilion at not charge. Thanks Greggie for the wonderful table idea in the pavilion. I know you didn't build it but it was your idea. Thanks to everyone who built the new picnic table in memory of James Uphold Sr. Thanks to everyone who brought yummy dishes. There is so much to say, but I am speechless.
Sittin' around
Bedtime!
Some people actually read the invite. It said that you could pull your camper up, or set up a tent. Well Sandy, Cindy, and Stephie took us up on it and put up tents...However they didn't want to rough it all that much so they brought blow up mattresses...smart thinkin' guys...
Lost and Found
I think these are Rosa Uphold's glasses that Becky is wearing...If you have the lense please call her she is looking for it....LOL

Memorial Ballons
This year we lit 2 memorial balloons at the family reunion. 1 was for Jay Shipley who passed since the last reunion, and the second was in remembrance for all those who have gone before. It was a nice thing. Uncle Tim didn't remember us ever doing this, but we started doing it last year. He was really looking forward to being able to see what the heck we were talking about.



I guess maybe next year Uncle Tim can try to stay awake long enough to see the ballons in the sky.....LOL
Activities for kids.....
The one thing you can really look forward to at the Uphold reunion is the great activities planned by Harmony, and Becky.....Thanks ladies....
Dianne Lytle went and got some ice cream, and toppings and set up for the kids to make some yummy treats...I had one and I'm not a kid....it was super good!!
Brandy is always great to lend a hand whenever it is needed... and as you can see she is really happy to help....
Noah with George's puppy...guess what the puppy's name is?.....his name is Puppy....I love that name...
Briar with Puppy....Briar is George's son...
This year was the year for Tye Dyed T-shirts.....
Disclaimer for next year...When the children's activities are set up...like dye for tye dye...unless the adult in charge of the activity is present please don't mess with the stuff....We had some people (teens) who mixed, and threw all the stuff around and wasted and ruined the dye....But please by all means have a good time, just be respectful of other people's stuff...thanks.....
