Save a Horse, Ride a Hoffman.....wait, what?

So..my dad is the 2nd eldest of 9 kids..(i know thats nothing compaired to the Duggers--who by the way just announced they are preggo with their 19th kid-which means their granddaughter will be older than this kid---but 9 is still a lot)

anywho--every summer we get together for a "Hoffman Weekend." So most of my aunts and uncles and cousins and their spouses and their kids come camp out at my parents house!! Its a blast! We used to get kegs..now we have to supply our own beer, haha, we do hayrides, some people camp, we eat a lot, and we do a white elephant gift exchange. Wikipedia explainst it better than i do-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_elephant_gift_exchange

Here is some hats that were gifted in the exchange...i have a good lookin family, dont I?

I love how classy we are--Jason is brown bagging it, Renee is showing off her wine cooler...hahaha

It was a blast as usual!! Here are some more fun pics of the weekend!!

Enjoy!

Playing Apples to Apples!
