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. :)

Image
 Went to visit my Grandma and Grandpa Sorensen, LOVE THEM!
Image
 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
Image
 Aunt Gaye
Image
 Gerald (my dad), Gug
Image
 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

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

Image
 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'

Image
Image
 We eat. A.LOT. We talk. A.LOT. We laugh. A.LOT. 3 days of fun-filled, family, togetherness!
Image
 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.
