Baby Crawl Contest

This is Hunter at the Baby Crawl 2010 at the Medicine Hat Mall.

He didn't move off the start line, but he still made us all proud. :-)

In the background you can see Great Grandma and Papa McGratten, Grandma & Grandpa Soanes, Nana & Papa Roth, Auntie Kaitlin, and Uncle Troy, and Auntie Brittany Howard.

All of the babies entered got medals--Hunter is very proud of his!

It was a lot of fun and I'm glad we entered Hunter!

*(Hunter is the son of Geoff & Amanda Roth, great-grandson to Olga Roth [Gomke]).

2010 Gomke Reunion & Carnival

"Like branches from a tree

we grow in different directions,

But our roots are

planted in the same soil."

Thanks to everyone who helped to make the recent Gomke Reunion & Carnival a success. It turned out to be a great day where young and old had a chance to interact and have some fun with the great games everyone contributed--from Olga's Milking Cow, the Chicken Toss, Potato Ball, GWC--Gomke World Cup, Fishing Game, The Musical Margaret Walk, Mini-Pool table, Bowling, Beanbag, and more...complete with popcorn, hot dogs, and cotton candy...as well as the Bouncy Castle, Horseshoes, and Beanbag Baseball! Of course the day wouldn't be complete without the traditional abundant Potluck supper!

A total of 73 people were in attendance at the Longfellow Hall, including 13 kids, 1 clown, and 3 dogs. The weather cooperated for the most part, despite a brief afternoon shower where the hard-core horseshoers continued in the rain as well as the castle bouncers. The day was topped off with some musical entertainment and the evening 'firepit', before the final farewells at the Sunday brunch...as we all parted ways until the next reunion, 2012...
