The First Ever Patton Family Reunion

The Beloved's mom worked super hard to make this event perfect and I don't think it could have been any better. 
It was a wonderful, peaceful getaway. Have I told you before I am blessed with the best in-laws?  The B.E.S.T.

 The best part of the whole weekend was when Uncle Jake and his posse (Aunt Kelli, Jett, and baby on the way) made a surprise visit all the way from TX - making our family complete!

The Beloved and his dad had a "toughness" competition seeing who could pull the other person's arm to their side. I'm not sure who was victorious but The Beloved tried super hard - dislocating his collar bone in the process. Good thing we know such a great chiropractor :)
