O'Hara/Hunt Reunion 2014

I am a little behind in posting some pics from this summer.  Here are some from the annual O'Hara Reunion.  This year we also had a little memorial service to remember Ben's grandpa and grandma.  We had a great turnout from the Hunt side to celebrate Ben's grandparents.  It was fun to catch up with family that we don't get to see very often.

We miss you, Grandpa and Grandma!

Yellowwood State Forest

Last Wednesday, Dad, Regan, Dylan, and I went for a hike in Brown County around Yellowwood Lake. They seem to be pretty much done with their dredging project, so things are back to normal.


It was a nice, chilly December walk. Here Dylan is showing off his creek-jumping skills.

A Hockey Game with the Grandparents

On New Year's Eve, Ben's grandpa won a trip to an Indiana Ice game in Conseco Fieldhouse, and he decided to take us with him. Grandpa remembered going to a hockey game when he was a little boy and was really excited to go to one again. The package he won, included 4 tickets to the game, free food, and a limo ride to and from the game! It was a lot of fun to share this special treat with Ben's grandparents.

Christmas 2009

This Christmas, we were able to spend time with both of our families. We spent Christmas Eve with Ben's family and traveled to Columbus, OH to see Joy's family on Christmas Day. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

And now presenting Mr. and Mrs. Regan Hess...

Last Saturday, we drove to Winfield, Kansas to witness the wedding of Ben's brother, Regan. Here are some of our favorite pictures from the special event. Congratulations, Regan and Leah!

Thanksgiving Dinner

O'Hara Family Reunion

Last Sunday, we were in La Porte County for the annual O'Hara Family Reunion. It was a lot of fun to see everyone and the food was great too!

Lunch at the Ekovich's Farm

The Hunt men (Grandpa, Uncle Jerry, and Uncle Dick).

Bob and his awesome frisbee skills.

Stephanie's Wedding

A couple of weeks ago, Ben and I drove down to Atlanta, Georgia to go to Ben's cousin's wedding. It was a beautiful day and we really enjoyed seeing all of our family.

The happy bride and groom, Stephanie and Kevin Bernhardt!

A family picture of all the "Hunts" that attended.

Another happy couple. :)

I really like this picture of Bob and June. We took a picture with all four of us, but I didn't like how it turned out.

We didn't get a ton of great pictures, but I really liked these two of when they were leaving and everyone was blowing bubbles.

We thought this was funny. It is not usually the minister's job to hold the bouquet, except when he is married to the matron of honor! ha!

I liked this picture of us too. :)

Christmas 2008

We visited my family the weekend before Christmas and then spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with Ben's family. We didn't take a ton of pictures, but here are a few good ones.

One of the highlights of Christmas day: Pictionary with the whole family. It was so much fun. Here are Grandpa and Grandma battling it out in an All Play!

Same Barred Owl at Mounds State Park?

We went to Mounds State Park on Tuesday. Perched in the same hollow tree was a Barred Owl. We saw a Barred Owl in the tree last year about this time. Seems like it would be the same owl to me.

Stone Mountain

Here are some pictures from the hike to the top of Stone Mountain. It was a very fun hike, but since it started to rain on the way down, it was a little slippery.
