It's a Bear

HA-stands for the Harris and Augenstein reunion.

Mat's parent plan a reunion every couple of years and this year, they were VERY nice to rent a house at Bear Lake for all 43 of us. Now when you have 43 of us, it is no easy task getting everything ready before you go.

For example:

There are usually several men trying to place things into all the vehicles. They often shake their heads in disgust and are tempted to leave it all behind.

Then there are the rest of us standing in clumps holding boxes of goods that are waiting to be placed in these magical transports.


There is usually some waiting



And there is usually more time spent thinking how we can get the women to leave all this stuff behind.


I've decided when Andrea does her signature leave, watering her front porch pots, it is a 5 minute warning to get on your shoes and buckle your seat belts.


We made it. Isn't she a 7 bedroom beaut? SCORE BOB AND ANDREA!
