Funk Family Reunion


Here's our lovely group! Visiting and mingling...
Grandpa's cousin, Jack- who was grandpa's best friend growing up, and Bonnie, Jack's wife- who I found out was a good friend of grandma's when she was young too- they double dated as youth! Isn't that neat- 2 good friends married 2 good friends and became family.
The eldest members of the Funk family who were able to attend.

Funk- as in great-grandma Anna Funk (grandpa Miller's mother), not Funk as in Funky music or the like. We went to Burley with my Mom and Dad, and Grandma & Grandpa Miller to attend the reunion on Saturday, July 21st. We (including Grandma) knew practically no one, but it ended up being a really nice time anyway as people were friendly and we had the run of this really beautiful- might-as-well-have-been-private park. Porter made a little friend and they spent all day following one another around exploring and playing. Seth sat on his blanket like an angel and let me run around without complaining at me ONE time!! Remarkable!! It was also a really nice cool afternoon where we were- so it was a perfect day to be outside enjoying new acquaintances. The food was also great- that counts for at least HALF of ones ability to have a good time- so we did.
