Family Reunion

Yesterday afternoon we drove down to the farm where my mother and her sister grew up. Way back when they were young, (Hee! Hee!!) their cousins would come up from New York and Massachusetts to spend time each summer at 'The Farm'. The last Saturday in July is now the day for our annual family reunion and members come from all over the country to attend. (Here my blog posts from 2007 & 2008.) It's always so great to see everyone!

Each year we celebrate the milestones in our lives with a yummy cake....

and ice cream!

My niece (center) especially loves to see her girl cousins!

Another family tradition is the 'Egg Toss' and 'Egg in a Spoon Race'. Always hilarious!

Those sweeping fields are great for flying airplanes, but the wind was a bit too strong this year, so they crashed and burned.

The boys bounced so much on the pogo stick that we thought they were going to pass out from heat stroke! Even Dad took a turn!!

Here's the crew heading down the hill, up the road, and through the woods on their pilgrimage to the family cemetery. The children are always interested in hearing more stories about their ancestors. We won't let them forget...

See you next year!
