Hi there! Writing a catch up post again. :)
Every summer, on the first weekend of August, there's a Seymour family reunion. This would be my 3rd and 4th cousins, the boys' 3rd and 4th cousins - once removed. I know...it gets kind of mind boggling every year when we try to remember and figure out how we are all related. We are all so distantly related, but I love it. I love the tradition and the effort put in by all who attend to keep the connections and family ties current. Some great, great, great, great grandparent is smiling down on us, happy to see all of us together. At least, that's a nice idea in my head anyway.
Family come from all over California, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, and this time, Malaysia, too.
It's the kind of fun where you get to be as messy as humanly possible, explore, and play non-stop!
You never saw so many kids sitting in rapt attention for so long... :)
I love it!!! Thanks for the post and the great pictures! Aaannnnd - drumroll: Their names are John & Almyra Seymour, smiling down from heaven in my mind too! They had a son named Edgar and a daughter named Princess (among others), who later had a daughter named Mildred (Millie) and a son named Walter. Who later had the Spindler kids and the Hahn girls. You can fill in the blanks from there....
ReplyDeleteSo helpful! :) Glad most of your clan could be with us that time!
