NATURAL FALLS...

While some of us watche a DVD of my late aunt Ann back in 2005 telling stories that happen to
her in her life time the younger generation walked to the Naturel Falls. 

By the pictures they took it is a beautiful place to go but this old lady
didn't make the walk.  I will have to go back and do the drive-thru...













I love this picture of cousin Tina !

And I love this one of grandson Josh and his girl, Jessica :)

PINEVILLE AND JANE, MISSOURI

The day before the Reunion the "Hopper Cousins" meet at the McDonald's
in Bentonville, Arkansas to make the trip to our G Grandparents home in
the Pineville and Jane, Missouri area. 

Believe me ! This McDonald's will never be the same !!!
We had a four car caravan and more fun than you could imagine...
Younger generation of " Hopper Cousins".  This is at the Jane, Mo. cemetery and
their GG Grandparents headstone.

They are laughing at the "Older Generation" because we couldn't work their iphones for pictures :)

The "Older Hopper Cousin's"
Linda, Johnnie, Ronnie, Carol, Judy and Jan ;)


We went down town to the square in Pineville and they were having a Farmers Market
and a band was playing.  Cousins, Jan and Johnnie starting dancing...so much fun!!!!

REUNION WAS A BLAST !!!

My sister-n-law, Gloria Hopper, who hates her
picture taken so of course the whole family has to try
to capture her picture...Look what I just posted Gloria :)

My daughter, Suzie,  and my brother, Jim, having a great time
sitting out in our back yard.  Jim and Gloria came in on Friday before the
reunion and we just sit in my back yard having fun.  It was a
surprise because we were not expecting them until the next day. 
We don't get to see them often as they live in California.
