Another family reunion has come and gone.  We all went down to Redmond, OR to the Eagle Crest golf course/resort.  The weather wasn't the best, but the nice house made up for it.  We swam, golfed, played frisbee golf, walked, shopped, ate, watched movies, played games, and generally relaxed.  Alice and I caught a ride down with Grandma and Grandpa.  Jake came down on Wednesday. 

 

Alice's favorite thing to do was "role call" (coined by Uncle Ben).  She would walk around the house looking for people, like Brad.  When she found him, she'd point and say, "There h' is!"  Or she would go around the room pointing to people and saying their names.  The good thing is that she knows all her Hodson relatives.  The bad thing is that it got old real fast.  At times it was a little difficult having so many family members around.  Whenever she would do something naughty and get caught by mom or dad, she would run away from us to a "safe house" (i.e. Grandma, Grandpa, Brad, etc.)  She thought she could escape the situation by crying to Grandma.  It pretty much worked until Dad arrived (a.k.a. The Enforcer).  She is currently going through "detox".
