Once day each summer my family and their families gather to celebrate in a style unlike any other I’ve seen. We call it a family reunion but it’s more comparable to a small county fair. We have a silent auction(where we raise funds for the following year) a raffle, loads of foods, time to relax, and many fun games and prizes for all people and all ages. This year the theme was “gather round the family tree” We were each encouraged to bring a leaf to add to the family tree, with each sibling (my mom’s sisters and brothers) having their own branches. It was great to see the unique way in which leaves were presented. Here are a few images of the many i photographed that day. I didn’t hear a count but our family has 125+ members.

If your special loved ones are getting together soon, I would love to be invited to photograph the day!
