We.are.family!

I'm back and it's still 2013 on my blog, cool.
Sorensen FAMILY reunion. The best thing that happens every 3 years.
 It was a little windy and Calla has a lot of hair. :)

 Went to visit my Grandma and Grandpa Sorensen, LOVE THEM!
 This is their LEGACY.
Their children still gather all of us extended and even farther extended family every 3-4 years. Vivian, Ken, Gaye, Gerald, Arlo. They take turns planning and partying. 
 We love the bounce slides!

We gather for Genealogy lessons
 Mom, Adrian, Uncle Ken

 We listen to the brothers and sisters share stories of their youth and about Grandma and Grandpa Sorensen. I wish I had those recorded. Anyone? We need to write these down!
 Aunt Vivian
 Uncle Ken
 Aunt Gaye
 Gerald (my dad), Gug
 Arlo (these are in order from oldest to youngest, even though my dad has the whitest hair of them all) 

 
 We wear coordinating shirts starting at the siblings on down their posterity line - we had maroon this year. We also enjoy the stylish family photos from years past....oh the 80's..
Calla, Rachel, Liz

 We take family photos - Georgia and Rylan
 my parents still very much in love as they were 60+ years ago.

 We practice skits and dances because I actually have siblings who like to do that sort of public display of embarrassment called 'family talent show'

 We eat. A.LOT. We talk. A.LOT. We laugh. A.LOT. 3 days of fun-filled, family, togetherness!
 these are shirts from years past, starting in 1983, I think is when that yellow shirt is from...




Good times! I love this family and am grateful to be a part of the Sorensen Legacy.
