How many Cowleys does it take for a great reunion?

At least 70, from as far away as Florida and California. Eileen and Roger's pergola made the perfect spot for family photos, starting with Pat, Tom, Jerry, Marge, Kathleen and Eileen. The Marsh contingent: Our family: The Austs: Kathleen's family:

And that's just the beginning. There were group photos of first cousins, and group photos of second cousins, group photos of the Browns and the Smiths....there were a lot of photos! The weather was perfect: The bubbles were floating: And the corn was tall. Despite high winds that flattened all the tents early Saturday morning, everything was in place by the time cars started pulling in. The food couldn't have been better: beef on weck, three different potato salads (thanks to Eileen and Marge), Eileen's bread and butter pickles, roasted corn, Eileen's cookies (the size of your palm), brownies, apple and blueberry pies.

I've left out a lot, but I can't think of any way this weekend could have been better. When's the next one?
