So growing up we went down to see my dad’s side of the family in Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee every year. As I have gotten older, got jobs, then married, then children, I haven’t really made the opportunity to get down there. Then this past January, we were supposed to head down there, FINALLY, for a family reunion, but to my disappointment we were not able to get down there. It was a huge disappointment. 1) I haven’t seen them for so long, 2) Ryan hasn’t officially met them all yet 3) Evelynn hadn’t even met them yet! Well, at the end of July, two of my Aunts made it up for a visit. It was so nice to see them and have them meet the girls. Ryan had met these two aunts (Aunt Betty and Aunt Katie) at our wedding, but now he was able to spend some time with them and get to know them a little more. The time was way too short!!!
Here are a couple pictures of my Aunts and our time with them. We brought them downtown Saugatuck, which was CRAZY! We did not know that the Venetian Festival was going on. We were not prepared for a large crowd, with 15 of us trying to stay together. Needless to say, we all ended up on our own and trying to find each other. However we did come together for a nice dinner and time at the Holland Outlet Mall/Dutch Village. Anyway onto the pictures.

The same week my Uncle Scott, from my mom’s side brought my grandma up for a visit and brought two of his kids with him. They moved down to Alabama back around 2005, and we haven’t really seen them since. Caleb and Caleigh (my two cousins), stayed with us for a couple weeks. It was great to get to know them; they had grown up so much! We had such a great time laughing, playing games (SETTLERS ROCKS!!), going to beach and just hanging out!! At the end of their stay we had a little family picnic at the beach for my mom side of the family.
Here are some pictures of my cousins. Unfortunately, the photographer slacked and didn’t really take pictures other than when we were downtown Saugatuck and at the family picnic. Sorry.
Aunt Tina and Olivia. It was supposed to be really warm that day, but it was so cold at the beach, so Olivia stayed wrapped up most of the day.
