Oma's Summer Picnic

Today was Oma's annual summer picnic!
Click on the grid for a closer view

On Saturday, August 21, the Hanes family had it's annual picnic. It is a time when all relatives near and far get together.
For decades, Oma has held the picnic, up to a couple years ago, in her backyard. For the past several
years, it's been at my mother's house. This year it was held at the Botanical Gardens in Lions Park. The time
is always too short but it was great to see a cousin and her daughter from Europe, other cousins, aunts and uncles and the
4th generation of family. The bottom right picture is all of the 4th generation attributed to Oma either by blood or
by marriage. Thanks to Oma (center picture in blue) for all she's done!
