Burgess Reunion

My Dad is one of five kids and so much of the extended family is still within driving distance of their hometown. A few of the cousins have left the nest so the family gatherings aren't as frequent or full as they used to be. That's why it means so much to me that when we come to Maryland and pull together a meeting... so many of them show up. It brings back old memories and we make new ones each time we meet.

Luckily, I have a partner-in-crime when it comes to saving the day in pictures... check out my cousin Michele and her paparazzi camera as she so affectionately calls it.

It's not possible to have a Maryland summer picnic without crabs doused in Old Bay...

Imagine the stories we'll be telling later of my Uncle Scott subjecting himself to the "face painting" that his great niece's were offering up.

Of course, I took more than three photos of the event... if you have some time on your hands, you can look through all of them by clicking here.

Erin was giggling the whole time!! She said, "I can't believe we actually get to do this!"

Making memories is so much fun!!!
