Kanitz Family Reunion

Said good-by to Sniders and left for the Reunion around 11 a.m., after we all had breakfast at Bob Evans.

Took a nostalgic drive down Willis Road to Moon Road, arrived and set up the books and pins. We began handing out the reserved books and collecting the money. It was great meeting all of the cousins that I hadn't really known before, and seeing the cousins whom I had known.

Dan and Pam came with baby Jace. He is such a cutie, and a very good baby. I had so much fun holding him - he is literally a bouncing baby boy. It was good to see Jim, and we enjoyed talking to Pam and getting to know her a little bit better.

It was great fun connecting names with faces (thank goodness for name tags!) After working on the family tree, correcting it repeatedly, proof-reading it over and over, and working on it every day for months, I was really able to remember who was who, and even who their children, grandchildren, and husbands were. It was so much fun!

We left around 4 p.m. and drove to Fremont, checked into the motel, and went geo-caching until around 7:30 (we found 3 - I found 2 out of 3!). Then I said Uncle.

Tomorrow we head for Pennsylvania.
