Family Picnic

Sunday afternoon, we had a family picnic.  Cilla and Zanni were missing due to other plans, but everyone else was there.

What a full weekend it was!  Very early Saturday morning, Gerry and I went to the Cornell Alumni breakfast.  V&M were here for the weekend, also taking in all the alumni activities.  It was Vee's fifth reunion.  It seems that her class broke all records of having the most class members return for the reunion.  Impressive!  Daughter Brenda was celebrating her 20th!  It was her first time going to a reunion.

In the afternoon, off we went to Syracuse to enjoy the very spectacular Cirque du Soleil.  Sunday morning meant leading worship for two services, and rushing home to prepare for a family picnic.  Since we were on the go, I did not really have time to do any cooking preparations, so we just had hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, etc.  I did make a big pot of baked beans, which could stay in the oven all morning.

By early evening, I was exhausted.  So was Gerry, though he would never admit it.

Of course, we took lots of snapshots.   It was a very hot ninety degree day, so all of the photos were taken under this little tree, beneath the shade.

I especially loved a photo that Michelle showed me on her camera, and I asked her to send it.  Because I think it is so beautiful,  I am going to include it here,  without names, of course.

I hope she doesn't mind!
