Federer Family Reunion 2017...

After we scattered Uncle Dale's ashes we gathered at Clear Creek Park in Cheyenne for a reunion. Many of our aunts and uncles have passed away, so our numbers are getting smaller. Aunt Kay is the only one left of my Dad's brothers and sisters. It's a little strange thinking that my first cousins and my siblings are fast becoming the oldest generation. 


I have to say that my brother Marion was the star of the day. He hasn't been to a reunion for several years. Aunt Kay was so happy to see him!

My cousin Margaret who is 95 years old...
she is nearly blind, she is ever sweet, positive, and we are all amazed by her.  Her Dad, Louie was Grandpa Federer's brother.

Our dear Aunt Kay with cousins Teri, Debbie, my brothers Marion and Lloyd and cousin Chad.

First cousins... what happens in Wyoming stays in Wyoming!

My cousin Greg shot a video of the whole group, but he didn't take a picture. Darn.. but we had about 30 family members attend the reunion. 

From the video that Greg shot:


We are not a perfect family. Some of my family members smoke and drink way too much. But that's our family. Sometimes they cuss, but they are always willing to help out a family member or a friend in need. They love their children and are good parents. They offer support in good times and especially during sad times. I love them, and will always try to keep family ties strong. You just have to show up.
