We started the family reunion on Thursday night. We met at the park to eat dinner and listen to some jazz music. Everyone brought food and grandma and grandpa brought root beer and ice cream for dessert.
It was fun to see family that we haven't seen for years and reconnect with them. My kids were super excited to see their cousins. Jeremy came from Texas with his 4 kids, Mark and Loaralee drove from Idaho with their kids, and Aunt Mary Ann flew in from Idaho.
Grandma Merritt told us that we were having root beer floats because that was what her and Grandpa had on their first date. Since we were all there to celebrate their 50th anniversary it was the perfect treat to kick off the weekend!
