Family Reunion 2011

Over Labor Day weekend my mom and I went to Oregon for a family reunion. We made the decision to fly instead of drive this time, which was OK for me, I hate driving to Oregon. To drive would take us about 2 days; flying would take us two hours with a two hour drive to my Uncle Joe's house. We left on Friday and when we got into Portland we met my Cousin Casey and his family for lunch and we drove to my Uncles house together. The main family event took place on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday only a little family showed up and I spent the day catching up with them. I was able to get some good pictures with my Aunt and Uncles Saturday and Sunday. Saturday for me was the most fun. Sunday more people showed but mostly it was from my Uncle Benny's side. Unfortunately, some family members were not able to make it but there was still approx 70 people there on Sunday, so I was able to hear some stories about my Grandma. I was only 6 when she died so I don't have many memories of her. It was this day we took family pictures and I got some great ones. It will be picture overload on this post. I am going to try to name people and if I don't spell your names right please forgive me, I'm only 14 and a half lol!! (inside joke). I had such an amazing time and it was so nice to spend some time with my family, I didn't want to leave. I wish I was closer to them so that I could see them more often. I miss them so much.
