Thacker Family Reunion 2010

Our Hollywood in Heber Family reunion was a smashing success! Every family had made a music video for every one's enjoyment! There were Oscar Awards, Academy Awards, etc. We're proud to announce that our very own Mr. Matthew Charles LeCheminant won "Best Up and Coming Male Actor," and my own flesh and blood, Tara Lynn Balle, won "Best Up and Coming Female Actress" for their stellar performances in Love Today. We also won an award as a family for "Best Ensemble." I was amazed at our Extended family's sheer talent and pure silliness. After an evening with the Academy, we roasted marshmallows and made s'mores amidst Thacker classics like Elmer and the Bear, Two Little Boys, Sweet Violets, and At the Boarding House. I LOVE hearing my grandparents sing. We slept in cute little cabins in bunk beds - some way to spend your anniversary - right? :) The next morning after at night of "Is it 6:45 yet Matt?"'s we woke up early for breakfast duty. Matt is an excellent bacon chef, and the eggs that I made weren't too bad if I do say so myself. We tackled a challenge course as a family. One of the activities involved getting everyone across the "ocean" via a rope swing and landing everyone safely on a VERY small "island." However, the family favorite was the high course. You'd clime an approx. 20ft pole, walk across a log on top, and zip line down. It was great fun! We also rowed around in canoes on the lake. Matt practiced his rowing of course, to get ready for the Grand Canyon River trip - only 3weeks away! The reunion was stunning and left us all star-struck! Way to go Barton & Callie!
