Cabanaw Family Reunion....July 2011

      Why is it that I cannot keep up with this blog? Maybe my life is a little boring and I don't have much to talk about. I can't always be travelling to somewhere exciting like Nice and Monaco or even to England which is probably exciting for some people but it is home to me.

      Speaking of home, a couple of weeks ago we went home to Indiana. Even Adam and Aaron arranged time of work and school to travel with us, it's not very often they go anywhere with us anymore so this was a treat all four of us spending time together. We spent Friday July 15th driving to Indiana arriving at Pat's late afternoon. Friday evening we went to Hensell's Oaken Bucket for dinner. After dinner Joe, Pat and I walked back to Pat's leaving Adam and Aaron to enjoy a drink without the old folk.

      Saturday July 16th was the day of the family reunion/cookout. It was hosted by Dave and Shell at their home in South Bend. There was a good turnout for the cookout. It was a hot and steamy day just like the rest of the summer so far. The pool was open and badminton and volleyball was set up. The younger kids enjoyed the pool....

      Some of the cousins had not seen each other for years and some of the younger generations had not met and they just live across town from each other. Some family members could not make it because of work or other commitments, but next year we hope to make the gathering even bigger.
