Carter, Ava and Dawson,
This weekend we had a Blystone Family Reunion and you were able to meet most of your extended family. The Blystone Family is Grandma Sue's family. It all began with Grandma Marjorie Blystone and Grandpa Paul Blystone, your great grandparents. This reunion was to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary! What an amazing accomplishment and journey! They have four children: Paul Blystone, Randy Blystone, Susan Blystone {now Shadle} and Scott Blystone.
Your Great Uncle Butch {Paul} lives in Montana and he has four children: Kristin, Josh, PJ and Tim. Kristin is married to Kevin and they have three children your ages: Riley, Elliot and William. Josh has a wife named Joy.
Then your Great Uncle Randy lives in Virginia with his wife Kathy, and he has three daughters named Lindsay, Kelsey and Jessica.
Finally your Great Uncle Scott lives in New York with his wife Lisa and he has two daughters, Emma and Meg.
So, I just wanted to give you that little bit of genealogy for the future, so you will know all these people in the pictures!
We had the reunion in Jefferson at Grandma and Bo's house. Due to a large amount of rain, their backyard was a complete washout. So we journeyed over to the hotel where everyone was staying to eat dinner, swim and enjoy a picture slide show.
Here are some pictures from the swimming pool:

He did not enjoy the temperature of the water! Poor little guy let out a howl the minute more than his toes were dipped into the water!
LOTS more pictures to come!
Looks like a whole lot of crazy fun. The Shadle kids are going to have a lot to talk about when they are older. Meme
