Hatch Reunion

(Ft. Morgan, CO: July 17, 2010) So there we are sitting in the amphitheater at Mount Rushmore waiting for the illumination show to begin when Ed's phone rings. Going backwards in our journey was something we didn't plan on but Ed's Uncle Danny was planning a Hatch family reunion back in Colorado and would really like us to come. So Friday, 16 July, we drove back to Colorado for the Saturday reunion. My side of the family has never had a reunion, or at least I've never been invited to one, hmmm. Anyway, we went, met a lot of people we'd never met before, Ed got to see some people he hadn't seen in many many years, had some good food, and just got to know some of the Hatch family a little better. It was fun and we're glad we went.

Another plus of going back was our friends from New York, Bill and Sara Payton had sold their house, and moved to the Denver area and we had missed them on our first time there. So we got to have dinner with them and get caught up from when we saw them in April.

Now, back to Wyoming!
