So every summer, usually right before CHA- i travel to a little city called Lynd, MN for my family reunion. I know i've mentioned it a few times before (this was last years post-Lynd 2008)-it's one of my favorite times each year. This year was no exception, and we also had a speical guest. The local newspaper from the next city over came out to the house to take a peek into our reunion and wrote an article about it.
You can read it here,
The Marshall Independent
it's pretty exciting how much history there is with our family (The Vanstoms) in Lynd. My grandma who's 98 (turning 99 next month) and her sisters ages 91-100 still tell the most wonderful stories. I hope i'm that sharp at 98!
We also did a sildeshow this year- and i took a few pics from the slides. Do you see my Grandmas dress??
Oh i wish she still had that, i would wear it in a second. oh and her silverish hair!
Here's another one with my great grandma (who did a drawing which i put on top of my wedding cake!) and my grandmas with her borther ans sisters.....Love all the dresses :)
Oh Allison what awesome post!!! I hail from Minnesota and adored the article:) What a awesome tradition.
