2007 Family Reunion

So as custom in most families, once a year the family tries to get as many family members as possible to come to a cook out. We always have ours in a park in Schenecady NY because it is close to grammy. We had good food, of the American cookout variety, nice chats to catch up and of course the usual family photos. It was windy and a bit cool, so next year we are going to shoot for earlier in the season.

Day at Lake Winnipasaki NH

My aunt Patricia and her husband and granddaughter came to visit my mom over Labor Day weekend. Her son Ren has been staying with my mom and he was happy to see them.So Baha and I drove up and Greg, Andy, Tonia, Ren, Aunt Patricia, Uncle Will and Shalea drove up to Lake Winnipasaki for a picnic and swim.
It was a bit windy and cool in the shade, but we did go for a dip! The water was warmer than the air. So it was get in the water and not have anything but your head out till you got out and got dressed. But despite the wind, Baha was eventually, after a whole bag of charcol and a bottle of lighter fluid, able to get a fire going for us to cook.

Tonia was being her photogenic self.

But my cousin, Ren's niece stole the show. She is so beautiful and already she is a little miss thing.
