Smith Family Reunion

Matt and I enjoyed seeing everyone at the Smith Family Reunion. We met in a lovely park in Portland and enjoyed a relatively cool morning which was refreshing after the heat wave we had been experiencing. Several family groups set up canopies, but our family had a little difficulty with ours due to a mechanical malfunction... (How many men does it take...)

Peyton was a little monkey!

Matt started the music, and then Emden, her boyfriend Donovan, and I joined later.

Grace did a nice job of organizing the event.

It was fun to see my cousin Jim. We stayed with his family in DC when I was very young and just beginning to talk.

Hey, I actually recognized most of them! The hard part of being away from "home"...missing family gathers.
