Way back in 1900, my great-grandparents Daniel Franklin and Margaret Alice got married and over the course of 40 years had 10 children. My Nana was child #8 born in 1922. All my life on the 2nd full weekend of August, my Nana's siblings and their families have gathered in Aledo for a family reunion. We were fortunate enough to make it up this year so that everyone could meet Blake.

On Saturday we eat, visit, and play games. On Sunday we have a church service and eat. This is a picture from the Sunday church service with my dad holding Blake who fell asleep on his shoulder. I would guess that there were 75 people there.
Everyone who makes it on Sunday always pauses from eating for a group picture.Front row: Aunt Kathy, Nana, Blake, my dad Mark
Middle Row: Tori, Andrew, me, my mom Brenda, and Bailey
