The Bash

Every year, the first weekend in August is the "Barzee Bash". It's Josh's mom's side of the family reunion. They hold it up in Birch Creek where Josh's Grandpa's old homestead and cabin still stands. TONS of people come for it. The Friday night of the Bash is the band/dance night. Everyone heads on down to the Lone Pine Cafe and then Josh, along with his Uncle Bryant, his mom, aunt, and cousins (& pretty much anyone who can play) will play music for several hours and everyone dances and catches up with one another. It's fun. There's usually a lot of smoking and alcohol though, so good natured as folks are, I keep the boys on a pretty short leash while we're up there. There's also alot of motorcycling. This year Josh has a bike again, (thank you Donnie!)so we took it up with us to break it in! Our friend Donnie and his friend Jared came up on Friday to do some biking too. They were great sports to drive up that far for so short a time to play. They even helped Josh set up our tent so that he could have more time to play. The little boys were excited to get to ride with Josh a little bit & Josh was really happy to get to motorbike on his own bike again. He injured his shoulder pretty badly the last time he did much motorbiking. Here are some pics.
