On Sunday we headed out London way for the Suzuki family reunion. Since she grew up on the West Coast, Laura never got to know much of the family on her dad’s side, as they were based in Western Ontario.

Until yesterday, when she met about 100 of them.

Wow! What a great party! Held at Diane’s idyllic farmhouse, the weather was perfect and the food was heaping. Four generations laughed and played together. And tried to figure out who was who (Jill’s nametags were great, but there was still a lot of mental math).

We even got to visit with family we actually know, but rarely get to see.

As usual at any large gathering, Jon retreated into his shell a bit, but it was great to see him have some one-on-one time with Severn and Sarika.
