It's a Reunion

So it has been a long time coming but we finally had a reunion for Pat's side of the family! We started out swimming and then headed over to the elementary school for lunch and the rest of the festivities. It was nice to see everyone, but mostly for Pat considering his family is huge and I was just a little lost! Thank goodness for name tags! We were also told to wear a certain color in order to distinguish who we belonged to. There are 10 kids in Pat's dad's family so it was nice to see who belonged to who based on what color they had on. It was quite surprising to see that we were one of the smallest groups considering Pat's immediate family has the most children.

There was a football and softball game for the older kids and adults, and they had a candy table and fish pond for the kids as well as a craft table, fingernail painting and a blow up bouncing castle thanks to Tracy.

They fed us lunch and dinner we had a couple of musical numbers and watched a slide show of all the pictures that were submitted from the families.

It was also nice to see Pat's grandma there! They got a picture with her and all of her children that made it. We were all able to get a family picture with her, as well as a group picture that included all of her descendants.

Great Grandma S and 8 of her 10 children.




As you can tell it was a hot day! Here we all are red faced and sweaty!

The kids kept themselves entertained for the entire day!

Emmy found the rocks at the playground to be very exciting!

And tried her hand with the hula hoop!

Rawley really enjoyed the stickers from the fish pond as you can see!


We missed everyone that couldn't make it! All in all a great day and I have to say thank you to everyone that was involved in the organizing. I am sure it took a lot of work!!
