family reunion
(As promised, here are a few snaps from this past weekend's family reunion. I realize that these might not be the action shots you were hoping for, as I was in the water for the greased watermelon competition and therefore could not take pictures of it without getting the camera wet... nevertheless, here they are!)
these are the "greats" -- my Grandma, my Great Uncle Jim, my Great Aunt Alice, and my Great Uncle Danny.
My Great Uncle Virgil's family... the reunion was at my cousin Ned's place -- he's the guy in the middle with the white baseball cap.
My Great Uncle Art's family...
This is my Grandma's family -- she was the oldest girl out of ten kids. For that, we figured we should pick her up...
My Uncle Danny's family. They're half the reunion!
My Aunt Pearl's family...
My Uncle Jim's family... hmmm... that name sounds familiar...
This is my Aunt Arlene and my cousin Tim (a.k.a. "Twistie")...
These are the last few -- my Aunt Alice, her friend Pete, and my Uncle Buck's daughter Petra and her husband. Yes -- I have an Uncle Buck.
Here's Nicki giving it her all in the rock toss. That rock weighs about 17 pounds. Nicki still can't move her neck...
This is my sister Anne, the female winner of the rock toss, holding one of our cousins-in-law, the male winner of the rock toss. Immediately following this picture, Anne carried this 200 pound bruiser down to the pond and threw him in. She's way strong, that Anne...
I did manage to score ONE RINGER while playing horseshoes! Unfortunately, that's only 3 points and you play to 21...
The beloved family still. Everyone had their own way to survive prohibition -- it's just that some people's methods were more profitable than others!

whoa Jim, you should hook me up with one of your 16-17 year old relatives, you got some lookers in there :-P. Family reunions with Big Family's are always fun, My Grammy had 16 kids, of which my Dad was one, so, Reunions provided a lot to do. I hope the reunion was relaxing and inspiring, and that you will score the track to the next big Midway game so I can brag about you :-P
