Ladd-Wickwire Reunion

A little while ago we did our annual Ladd-Wickwire family reunion. I'm so proud of our family....we have successfully had 4 or more reunions! Every time we go, we always have such a blast. Dan and Gail (my aunt and uncle) are such wonderful hosts. All we do is laugh, catch up on the last 6 months of our lives, and take lots of pictures. This year we got to go to the farmers market in downtown Vancouver. "Farmers Market" does not do it justice. It should be called a fair without the rides. We could have spent all day there. It was just too much fun.
Here was Basketball Papa and Carrott and their 3 grand kids.....
(Its a little hard to get them all to sit and smile all at once)

Papa and Preston


Prestona and Nay Nay watching and waiting on the balloon guy

Oh man was there good food there. Here was a huge, I'm talking huge payaya plate. Michael got a bowl of it and it was so good.

Little Nay Nay jumpin around

This is one of my favorite pictures ever!! I think I might get it framed and put it on our family wall. Maya refused to get in the pool so she lounged and watched everyone else. Doesn't she look adorable!?

Also at the market there was an antique car show going on. So we walked up and down the road and ooh'ed and ahhhh'ed over all of the cool cars. Michael and I picked out which ones we would want for ourselves if we lived back in the 50's.

Preston and Papa. That floaty Preston is in is way too small for him but he loves it. I think by next year he will pop it if he tries to get in it again.

I cant wait for the next reunion. I think its going to be in early November. We will all be bundled up in fleece and sweatpants and drinking hot chocolate. Mmmmmmm can hardly wait.

Greetings,

I noticed your Ladd-Wickwire Reunion note on your Blog and wanted to ask your connection to Dan and Gail Wickwire. My name is Rick Wickwire and I am the coordinator for the Wickwire family history group, and we are always looking for new cousins. Are you perhaps Dan and Gail's daughter, Jody Marie? I would appreciate it if you would contact me at cfwickwi@bechtel.com so I can be sure we have you in our database, and also your family. We are in the process of updating the family genealogy.

Thanks very much,

Rick Wickwire
