Volmar Family Picnic

Last Sunday was the Volmar family picnic. This event is supposed to replace the annual Christmas party, because there is not enough space in our homes for the extended family - unless we rent a meeting room somewhere.

Amanda and Jocleyn being silly in the food line - and Aunt Marge with her grandson Greg.

Joanne's son Justin is in the background.

My Dad and his brothers and sisters. I don't even know how many relatives there are on this side of the family, but I do know that there are 20 children belonging to these 6 and their spouses. I am grandchild (of Russell & Margret Volmar) number 4.

Jake and Hannah. Aunt Evelyn looks like she is having a great time in the background ...

Craig came without Tara today. She had a family event also.

Nice hat Craiggers!

Luke, Jake and Craig - the three grandsons of Ted and Sandy.

My parents put a lot of work into hosting this bash. They had a great turnout and a pretty decent day. There were two quick storms that blew through, but it didn't seem to dampen any spirits. I think that there were about 65-70 people there.

I would post more photos, but I seriously don't know the names/faces of a bunch of my cousins kids. Hey, at least I know my 17 cousins and their spouses, and most of the kids.

Mom and Dad are not in charge again until 2014 !!!
