Memorial Day Reunion

We hosted the first annual memorial day family reunion. It was a multi extended family reunion including the Gwinup side of the family as well as grandma greats sister Marion's whole family tree. We counted about 50 people altogether that came to our house. It was a great gathering and so fun to mingle with everyone present.  The families that were there included:

Gwinnup Family:

Stacey Fry and 3 boys

Jane Cox and 4 boys

Marion Routsong's tree:

Greg

Annie

Cari, husband and daughter

Brett, wife and 2 kids

1 more brother

Martha Routsong tree:

Bill & Linda Routsong

Nate, Tara, 5 kids

Mike, Kim, 6 kids 

Melissa, John, Madison & Jace

Beth, Abe, 3 kids

What a fun gathering. We had some crazy water balloon fight and the kids Doug in a huge pile of sawdust for quoins. That was a tradition when Nate's family was young and we wanted to bring that tradition back. We plan to have this be an annual family reunion in every memorial day.
