2011 Smith Family Reunion

The Smith Family Reunion is every 2nd weekend in June on Lake Martin in Alabama.  Smith is my Nana's maiden name, so it's her dad's family reunion.  Nana's dad had 5 siblings, Gordon, EvaBell, Muriel, Murray and Claudine.  EvaBell and Muriel are the only one's living.  Aunt Muriel's cabin is the place we go to on the lake.  Aunt Muriel's son Lynn and his wife Gayle prepare such a wonderful lunch for us, and they keep the cabin looking beautiful!  It's great seeing all of the family we don't get to see throughout the year, and we have such a wonderful time eating and visiting and playing the famous card game, 'Blitz.'  Yes, we are a bunch of gamblers!!

This year, me and my mom and dad were the only one's from Arkansas that were able to go, but hopefully next year everybody else will get to!  Plus, Hallie Grace will be about 10 months so she will get to experience her first trip to the reunion!  Can't wait until next year!
