 Running after the candy!

The Hawker Family reunion was held again this year. Everyone brings food, and we spend a few hours catching up on each of the families. It is for all the children and grandchildren, etc. of Ralph and Wanda Hawker. Of their children (there were 12) Doug's dad (Douglas Ralph Hawker) is the oldest. It is fun to get together and see all the relatives, (and to see how you might end up looking someday). You can sure see the resemblance in these pictures. Every year, Doug's uncle Kenneth makes a cannon for the kids. He sets it up on a hill and fills it full of candy, then he lights it and it shoots hundreds of feet out to where the kids are all waiting. They have so much fun waiting and chasing the candy.
