Last weekend, my mom's cousin Maryanne had a great backyard barbeque for all of her extended family. When I was a kid, we used to do things like this all the time. My mom's mom was one of 13 children, and most of them still lived in the area. Above, my mom is pictured with Maryanne on the left and my aunt Lillian on the right. She recently moved back to Jersey after a long stint in Texas.
Even though the weather was rainy (as most of August has been), we still had a great time sprawling out in the backyard. Above, my brother talks with my Uncle Dave & some other cousins. Below, Uncle Alex plays for cousins Leon and Joanne, Aunt Sarah, and others.
Uncle Alex's son Evan got his very first haircut at the party! Jen made him look quite dapper. Mind you, his father gave permission for this to happen... hopefully mom approved when they got home!

And above you have the Rummel/Chernick/Gibson side of the family, including Aunt Sarah. We all enjoyed the company, music, and food. Summer BBQs are the best!
