Post Race Festivities

After the race we all came back to the house and continued the festivities.  Everyone ate hoagies while Michael, Elijah, Cody, and Kingston put on the most awesome concert. Many months ago, I sent Michael a bunch of song requests (8 miles long as he said :-)).  They actually learned a lot of them and every song they sang and played was amazing!  Best concert ever!  Much better than the okie Taylor Swift concert that people were paying thousands of dollars to see.  Michael and the boys did not disappoint.  It was awesome!

Then Preston and Michael played a couple of songs together with Michael on bass.  Uncle Tim even joined them on one song.  :-)

Lisa graced us with her beautiful voice on a few songs and read some cowboy poetry.  I think everybody shed a tear when she read "The Stone Ranch".  An original that she had written about our grandparents' ranch.

Rex did a couple of numbers also.  Juliet had everyone laughing with her remake of "Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On".  It was a lot of fun!

Weston shared his talent of knowledge of World War II planes.  Kylee and Brynn did a song about their friendship.

Thanks to all who shared their talents with us.  It was a blast and very entertaining!  It's never too early to start preparing your talents for next year's variety show!

Rex worked hard on smoking a bunch of meat for the chuckwagon dinner.  It was delicious!  Thanks to all who helped make the race and family reunion a success this year.  A special thanks to Lisa and Rex for all their hard work.

Cute little Dylan wanted his picture with Juliet.  :-)

I know there are a lot more pictures but these are the ones I got sent to me so if there are any more you would like posted, let me know.

We were so excited that Stephanie, Weston, and Dylan were finally able to make it this year after years of trying.

Thanks again to all who helped make this race and family reunion possible.  Thanks to all the made the effort to come from out-of-state and from out of town.

I hope everyone had an enjoyable time.

I hope to see you all again next year for the Fifth Annual Myron Hampton Stone Memorial two-mile run.

That's my two cents.
