Family Reunion

WBR recently hosted the somewhat-annual Mulanax/Leiboult family reunion. A massive undertaking to be sure! (For those of you who are unaware, Matthew's family is relatively small.) Though with each year the family seems to grow as the younger generation has starting marrying, having children, etc.

This years reunion was mildly affected by heavy rains, but thanks to a large cabin and the bulk of the rain coming at night, plans were not too thwarted. It did throw a wrench in the quality of fishing as the Bull Shoals dam started generating heavy amounts of water after a long period of relatively small amounts. The guys caught a few fish, but not what you would expect from a world-class trout stream. Northern Arkansas had been an extremely dry place for over a month preceding the reunion. However we're once again enjoying green grass and high humidity!

We enjoyed spending time with family and celebrating numerous birthdays, including Jack Mulanax's (Matthew's grandpa) 80th. As always, time seems to fly and with everyone together it often feels as though you don't get enough time with each person. Everyone contributed to some great cooking, so no one left hungry (special shout out to Bobby and his delicious brisket!).

Matthew and Micah were able to go fishing with his grandma a few days after everyone else had left. (Carolyn and Harold stayed for a week.) They had a great time and caught numerous fish!

Here are some pictures from everyone's visit:
