Family Reunion – Day 2

The 2nd day of our re-union was hosted by Aunt Iris’ family, the McCleary’s.  It had been a few years since we had all had the chance to visit – their family has grown so much, adding new daughter-in-laws and adding new babies which is always fun!  I am sure Aunt Iris is watching and smiling!  Her family is beautiful and a delight to be around!

The youngsters are visiting with Uncle Ron - I am sure he is only sharing words of wisdom!

As our hosts the McCleary's had us singing for our dinner - the table that performed the best gets to line up first!

After dinner entertainment included each branch of the family introducing their clan.  The McCleary's started us off, they sang a song about their families set to the Sound of Music!

My sweet brother-in-law started our branches introductions.  He told stories of his dad while they were growing up - Linda and Corey followed up with more stories.  I enjoyed it so much that I didn't even take photos!  We miss you GRANDPA KEN!  You are remembered!
