The Hubert J. Little family reunion!!!












Every year on the third weekend of August. Matt's step-dad's family have met together and had a Reunion Honoring the Patriarch of their family Hubert J. Little. It has been at many numerous locations including Saratoga Springs, now they have it at Hatch Park in North Salt Lake. It is kind of weird how they run things, they run it like a committee. They have a family bank account, a chairman, and individuals who are in charge of different areas of the reunion. This year was fun because it was the first year we took Eli. He was the newest grand baby so he got a quilt sown by one of the family members. The main dish is always provided and we are supposed to provide side dishes. The week before the reunion they hold a family golf tournament. This year it was in Toelle. Randy (Matt's step-dad) has won it two years in a row now. Justin (Matt's Brother) won longest drive. When it came time for activities. The biggest water slide I have ever seen was brought out. You can see that Matt and Eli had fun and so did all the grand-kids especially when Grandpa decided it was his turn to go the slide. Most of these pictures are of Randy's (Matt's step-dad) children or grandchildren. The water slide was by far the hit of the party. The kids loved it. Eli was very hesitant at first and he screamed the first time that Matt tried to take him down it, but after a few more times, he decided that it wasn't so bad. The reunion was a hit and there was great attendance.

It was fun to see you for a minute the other day at the school. Next time it will have to be longer. Eli is so stinkin' cute. I loved seeing him and Ella play together. Fun age.
