A combination of family and 4th of July celebration was the backdrop for this year's Bures family reunion. We returned to Allen & Simone's cabin near Radford, VA along the New River. The last time I was here was in my 3rd year of medical school. I returned with 3 kids this time ready to share the same adventures plus so new ones.
A family reunion wouldn't be a family reunion without a group picture. Gary's clan wore Husker Red while Allen's wore blue.
Nothing beats unstructured fun with cousins!
To make the get together even sweeter, we also celebrated Allen and dad's birthdays. Milestones for both of them.
For entertainment, we hosted the 2nd version of Bures' Got Talent. As with the inaugural show, this one was a crowd pleaser despite the heat and rain.
We showed the family our version of the "Evolution of Dance" going through popular dances through time including the Twist, Chicken Dance, Macarena, YMCA and M.C. Hammer dance.
Izzy wanted to demonstrate the correct footwork and moves that she's learned over the past year in fencing.
Oma's rendition of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star via the nose flute. Who knew!
Opa continued to amaze the crowd with his magic tricks with the Hooie stick still stumping everyone.
The Dieckman's are Broadway bound with their rendition of You'll Be Back from the play, Hamilton.
Allen & Simone took us down memory lane with popular children's songs including How Much is that Doggie in the Window.
Despite moving under the tent due to the rain, the Sharrer's dance performance wasn't even phased.
The finale was the Hall's and their telekinetic powers.
The night ended with rounds of corn hole and smiles.
Before we all turned in for bed, the grandkids gave Opa a Midwest inspired birthday present.
