A family Reunion (was a planned trip)
So, today my family all piled into my Grandmother's van (we traded in ours for a new car), drove south for 2 hours, and landed in the middle of a family reunion. The Legere's to be exact. My mother's father and his 6 brothers, 3 sisters all came to a place called Lake Shore Cafe. Grampie is number 2, but the funny thing is all the guys execpt the youngest look very similar. Short, bald, and glasses. Great Uncle Danny is Tall (only difference).
Sadly, I do not know this side of the family as well as my dad's. But things got better as the day went along. We stayed at Aunt Julie's first, then all went to Lake Shore, where everyone was meeting. We ate a late lunch, dessert, and had lots of pictures taken. Sadly, there was no one there my age (well, one of the Waiters was kinda cute). But I soon found out one of my second cousins is a Star Wars Fan! That made my day. She has 2 boys and they have a collecton of...8 toy lightsabers? I said, "well, that figures, you always try to pass on the fandom to the next generation." Her phone rings SW themes and they change depending on her mood. (ps- if I ever get a phone, mine will do this as well.)
After all the pictures, the oldest, Uncle Leo, took everyone down to a campsite. At first we could not go swimming, so, what happened? We stood around and did nothing for a while. THEN, just as we were getting ready to leave, they said we could use the Pool!!!! AARRRGGGG. I was not happy. But, we couldn't stay much longer, and definitely not long enough to swim. So we left. I am now home telling you all this exciting news, and my new found Star Wars fan Relative, however distant they may be.
