Olmstead Reunion - July 1st, 2012

One of my biggest highlights for the Summer was getting together with family that I have not seen in a VERY long time.  Some of them, I had never met (cousins...you know how that goes...you get a long line of them and you just don't know or meet them).  We held it at our house and the weather cooperated beautifully!

The Olmstead's is my maternal grandmother's line and her one brother (my great uncle Jim) and her sister, (my great aunt Bev) came along with their families and their families' families...etc.  (I'm sure the punctuation on this is a mess...sorry to my editing friends).

I just wish my grandmother could have been there in person to see us all together again.

 We had a pool for the kids to enjoy

 The whole gang (although a few had to leave early before this was taken)
