In my last entry I talked about the significance of family reunions. In mid-June our whole family, including my wife and I, our five children and their spouses, and our sixteen grandchildren, gathered in a rented picnic pavilion at Steele Creek Park in Bristol. The last time the siblings had all been together was before more than half of the grandchildren were alive. The picnic pavilion was adjacent to a playground and immediately above the little train and paddle boat dock. I brought my canoe and took seven different grandchildren and two children over the course of three trips out onto the lake. Two families went over the hill to the splash pad. There was abundant good food and conversation. As I said to all, it did my heart and my wife’s good to see them all there together and talk to them. I have a few pictures of the event at “Together.”
