Family Reunion

The kids and I traveled to the big city of Putnam (population: 91) today for my family reunion. My dad's mother's family gets together ever Memorial Day weekend, and it never fails to entertain.

What kind of fun is a a day outdoors without a tire swing? Answer: none.

For Carter, it was a bit too hot for too much fun. It was his first family reunion, and Leah and everyone else were on alert to keep him from melting. But, when you're this cute, it's not hard to get everyone's attention.

Even the dogs were hot. Granny kept checking on Cinnamon to make sure she wasn't melting in the terrible heat.

Also, it was great to see my dad with his siblings and parents. Aunt Kelly came in from Atlanta and Peggy lives near Putnam.

My favorite part of the weekend was when we recreated a blast from the past. My dad's cousin, Marlene, pulled out some old photos from a family reunion many years ago. 1982 to be exact.

Someone had the bright idea to re-create this golden gem of my dad's cousin Warren, his daughter Leslie, me and Dad.

How can you not get a kick out of that?!
