First Barnes Family Reunion (part 6 of major update)

The very first Barnes family reunion was this year and we have been looking forward to it for a long time.  Some family members forgot cameras so the responsibility of Family Historian fell on me.  I took many, many photos so I'll keep the writing to a minimum and show everyone (especially the Barnes family) what they have been waiting for.

This reunion consists of a big trip to Chattanooga, TN...









Beckham knows how to keep cool!

















































...lots of swimming in the pool...









































 ...enjoying some nature around the house...






...enjoying each other's company in Atlanta...


























 ...and then enjoying each other's company in North Carolina.













































It was a lot of fun to have everyone get together for the first time in a really long time.  You can't have 6 children, 4 in laws, 6 grandchildren, and 1 "boyfriend that's not really a boyfriend" all in a room without things being a tad chaotic.   But the chaos is half the fun!  It was fun watching the cousins interact and the grown siblings turn into teenagers again.  I'm glad that I joined this family five years ago and included me in the festivities on this trip. Can't wait til the second reunion!
