Boone Family Reunion

It's that time again...

The last Sunday in September at 1 o'clock means it's the annual Boone Family Reunion.

We headed out to White Oak Church for the annual get together.  I attended many of these reunions as a child, and it's even more fun to bring my family and my kids back each year.  The weather was beautiful with a few clouds in the sky and a nice breeze.  This year marked the 74th Reunion.  Wow!  That's pretty amazing when you think about it.  Since this was started with my Great Grandfather's siblings and parents, we are much further down/up the family tree.  I only know my Great Grandfather's branch with some accuracy but it's nice to see the dedication of all the family members to get together for this annual event.  

This was the best picture we could get of Granddaddy Bob, Mimi, and our boys.  Multiple complaints were heard about the sun being in eyes, and other adults were not looking at the camera (yes, we mean you, Mimi!) But that's how it goes...

Now just the boys...

We didn't know how Jamison would do since this event began at his normal afternoon nap time, and this boy likes his schedule!  He hung out in the ergo mostly and finally conked out about 2 p.m. when we were getting ready to head home.  I don't think he napped much in the car, but wasn't overly cranky, so it worked out.

Now here's a picture for comparison.  This is Maverick and his great, great uncle Warren, two peas in a pod.  Warren is my grandmother's baby brother.  His hair looked much liked Maverick's is now when he was little, so we wanted a comparison shot.  Uncle Warren talked about how he didn't wear shoes as a child, and doesn't like wearing them much now.  They called him "cotton top" and we have a little cotton top, Jr. on our hands.  He refused wearing shoes the next day.  Maybe Warren is rubbing off on him.
