KROUT FAMILY REUNION

Last weekend was our Krout Family reunion and we had a great time. This was our 17th annual reunion and there was a bigger turnout this time than ever.

Saturday night is the night the "cousins" come out to the lake to have fun the night before the actual reunion on Sunday. We had 22 people come out Saturday night and several of us stayed up until 2:30 AM or later just catching up, playing games, and sharing laughs.

Sunday we had a building full of people and more wonderful food than we could possibly eat. As my cousins' children grow up and get married we are now having new babies every year and it is so fun to watch them all grow. This year we had 2 boys and 1 girl that were born after last year's reunion. One of my cousins and his wife are expecting another baby in December so we will have at least one new baby next year. It is amazing to look around at that large room full of people and think about how it all began when 2 people fell in love and started a family.

By my count there were 61 people at the reunion this year - WOW! The best part was, it seemed like everyone had a great time.

A group picture will be posted as soon as I receive it.
