Adams Family Reunion / 02-JULY-2011

On Saturday, 02-JUL, 55 adults and children gathered at the Family Farm near Glennwood, AR, for the James L. Adams and Robert H. Adams family reunion. It was a fun-filled day with lots of activities, eating and visiting. Here are the five direct descendants of James and Bobby Adams:From the left: Gayle Walthall, Rosie Callicott, Jim Adams, Cathy Burson, Julia Stonecipher.

Amy got a great picture of the entire gang. Smile everyone!
Here's a picture of the "Callicott clan" (current and future) who attended the reunion:left to right: Karen Flachman, Logan Flachman, Bob Callicott, Rosie Callicott, Kayleigh Flachman, Lottie Callicott, Amy Callicott, Adam Callicott, Doug Callicott, Ashley Kulju (Doug's fiancee).

The Family Farm - run by Stan and Donna May - was a great place to hold the reunion. There were alot of activities for kids and adults. The zip line was a favorite of all age groups. Here's Lottie finishing her ride down.
Adam also enjoyed his trip down the zip line.Logan is all smiles.
The adults also got their turn on the zip line. Amy, Ashley and Doug had fun rides.The carousel was also enjoyed by the young and not-so-young. Adam and Logan are the carousel daredevils.Gram and Kayleigh enjoyed the "wind in their hair" as they rode the carousel.
The Family Farm also had a John Deere train. Except for the driver, the train was for kids only - bummer!Next came the paddle-boats. Kayleigh enjoyed her ride with Doug and Ashley. Wave to the crowd. Here go the three musketeers (or should that be three pirates?) - Blayne, Adam and Will - for a trip around the lake.Karen and John took Logan and Lottie for a spin on the lake.After the paddle-boats it was time to jump into the canoes. Lottie has her paddle ready.Here I am taking Adam, Lottie and Logan for a canoe ride. Luckily they didn't know my level of canoe skills!Keith Beckhan was in charge of fishing at the Family Farm fishing pond (a non-paying job with great fringe benefits - seeing kids catch fish). Charlie was focused on catching a fish.Focus paid off - Charlie caught a nice catfish. Way to go, Charlie!The Family Farm also had a petting zoo. Adam enjoyed holding one of the cats.We all enjoyed a dinner of hamburgers and hotdogs (and all the trimmings) prepared by the famous chefs, Dave Stonecipher and Doug Callicott. Here they are hard at work:After dinner we had a family sharing time complete with singing. Doug and Bob accompanied the singing on guitars.After the sharing time, it was getting dark and time for the hayride.The final event of the day was fireworks. What a great way to end a fun day! Thanks to everyone for coming and helping and especially to Stan and Donna May at the Family Farm!
