I know it has been almost a month since we took our vacation.  I am just now getting to organize the photos.  There is lots to show and share! I come from a very large family and you will notice this in the pictures I will show you.  My Gma(maternal) comes from 8 siblings and each of the siblings comes on average 3-6 kids, and from those kids comes on average 3-6 kid…….it keeps growing.

We arrived early Saturday morning(June 26) in time for the festivities.  First off was a watercolor painting workshop by my late Great Aunt Sally’s best friend Beth who is a phenominally good artist.  And we were honored to have her come to our reunion.

Here is the crowd looking on with her instructions.

I come from a very talented family.  Come to find out there are several artists within our family.  Here is my sister painting.
