family reunion

Last weekend was our family reunion on my mom's side. In addition to the aunts and uncles and cousins, some 2nd cousins and a great uncle were present and accounted for, as well as my soon-to-be aunt (Jo from NC). OMG, and the FOOD...oh yum!! We've got some talented cooks in our family, that's for sure! My Uncle Mike and Aunt Rose graciously volunteered to host the event at their house...which worked out fabulously...lots of space to run around and do different activities.

Like visiting and catching up with everyone...


Playing cornhole (Uncle Danny and Uncle Tim, a.k.a. Colonel Sanders)...
Golf/chipping practice (Uncle David {all the way from NC!}, Uncle Mike, Great Uncle John, and Gary)...
Walking around and visiting (cousin Mallory and her mom, Aunt Suzi)...

Gabfest (2nd cousin Colleen, Mom, Michael, G.U. John, and 2nd cousin Kristie)...


Cooling off in the pool (soon-to-be new cousins Julia and Bugga, and cousin Maggie)...

More coolin' off with Michael and Mom in the mix...

We had to leave right when the big family pics were being taken, so I don't have any pics of that...boo-hoo! I also didn't get any shots of Uncle Bill and Aunt Donna, cousin Tyler, 2nd cousin Kathy and her family, Aunt Rose, cousin William, and (almost) Aunt Jo - oy vey!! We were so pressed for time to get Michael to his final baseball game of the season and the awards presentation after the game...15 minutes to make it from Westerville to Dublin...NP with Gary driving! Safely, of course. :)

The gathering was such a good time, G.U. John requested that we all get together again as one big extended family. Aunt Rose thought we could shoot for Labor Day next year and make it a tradition. Sounds good to me!
