Stremlow Reunion

This weekend we had our family reunion in Coleman, MI which is just East of Midland...just about a two hour car ride.   We all camp out on my uncle's farm and spend the weekend laughing, playing and eating....what all good get togethers are for!  My dad has 8 brothers and sisters and all but one have kids and those kids have kids so needless to say.....there are a lot of us!  This was the 21st reunion we have had at my uncle's house.  It's pretty amazing!  I can remember so many games of tag, playing Monopoly at 2am, riding the horses, gathering eggs from the chickens, playing with barn kitties, watching my uncles set off fireworks in the field, hayrides, s'mores, swimming at the watering hole, chatting around the fire for hours and so many more priceless memories!!  Although not everyone goes anymore, I am excited for when Tommy will be able to participate in the madness.  It's truly my family at it's best!  It may make us sound very country but that's fine.  We may be a little country but we are A LOT of fun!

Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

Tommy had his own rice cereal picnic.

Only some of my cousins....we were missing a lot of people!

Tommy got a lot of attention!

Playing in the water with Robin.

Last year my grandma bought shirts for everyone and purchased a few extras for upcoming babies. He'll take a few years to grow into this one.

Tommy and Ava are the newest Stremlow additions.

Four Generations: Tommy, Mom, Grandpa and Great Grandma.

Tommy was having a great time!

He was covered in kisses this weekend!

His new hat was a big hit!

Every kid gets a chance to drive the tractor  Of course I had to put Tommy's overalls on.  :)

We had a great weekend and I appreciate my family so much more after all that they did/all the support I was given during my pregnancy.  They are pretty amazing people!  :)
