On the first day of our family reunion we all met at the Columbus Zoo. From my cousins and aunts even to my Grandma Erwin...they are very proud to have their zoo be America's #1 rated zoo this year. Growing up we went to the Columbus Zoo every summer and it was always good...it's Jack Hanna's zoo. Can you believe Jack Hanna was there the same time we were and my sister and her family got pictures with him. He asked Cary and Brian where they were from and they said Salt Lake City and Jack Hanna said he was just there the day before. 
Ewww...the kids touched the snake.

There were so many of us at the zoo...it was so fun. After the zoo everyone went to Aunt Laurie's house for a pool party and dinner was catered by China Bell...mmmmm.
Since we don't ever have everyone together at Christmas, Aunt Onalee thought we should celebrate it in July. She had HUGE OVER FLOWING bags of gifts for each of the kids. In the picture above you can see she even had some for all of us adults. What a fun memory of having Christmas in July at a family reunion and pool party.

Everyone enjoyed the pool party and being together!

What wonderful memories!!!!!
I just got my pictures back yesterday and they are already in my reunion book and I love looking at them. I will send you a CD of all of the pictures that Richard and I took. In 2 years I thnik we should do it again in D.C. Then, the babies will be the same age that Ethan and Caty were this year. That's ready enough for a trip to DC and visiting The Natural History museum. Let's keep this idea in mind. Aunt Onalee
