Beattie Family Reunion

Every year in the summer we have started a tradition, that we have to reserve a weekend that everyone has to be here and we have to spend all weekend together. It has been a really fun thing that we all have to look forward. Each year someone has to plan where we are going and each family picks a meal to cook for everyone and an activity to help entertain 13 grand kids. Luckily Paker and I made it home. This years reunion was almost at the Days Inn in Edmonton, although it probably wouldn't have mattered where we had it, it would have been equally as fun.

This year Leslie and Dustin Michel planned it and they chose to go to Park Lake. It is really fun for little kids and really close to Lethbridge. We all got there at about 12:00pm Friday and set up camp. We headed right to the beach. It was a little windy but I wouldn't expect anything less from Southern Alberta, and the kids didn't notice. The rest of the weekend was full of fishing(Jim's activity) Bon Fires, crafts, more swimming, playing kickball, bike rides, playing on the two parks, going on dingy rides around the lake, going to church, and eating a lot of food and treats!!

We always get a family picture since everyone is there and sometimes that doesn't happen any other time of the year. Some Pictures are better then others.
