Today was our Meckola Family Reunion - mom's side of the family :-) We met for lunch at 11:00 at Jay's Cafe' and spent 4 hours gabbing and take pictures! So awesome that people drove for hours just to spend some time together!
...and spouses, too!
Aunt Toots reading a cute story about grandchildren :-)

Afterwards Gail, LaRae, Joshua, Hannah, and I headed to the Wadena County Fair!
Hannah proceeds to play a game where she has to toss a ping pong ball into a fish ball - and she succeeds - and wins a live goldfish!!!
They did NOT want to take it back - but I told the booth operator it either needed to join its friends in the cooler or die in the trash can ;-) eek!
My family is much more talented than me! Lots of amazing entries with lots of 1st and 2nd place ribbons! My aunt Lo easily won the most!!!
Dad's cousin Roy (Papa Roy to the kids) won 3 1st place ribbons for his artwork - they were entered without his knowledge - hehe! They took him to the fair and voila! He was able to see the awards :-)
Joshua, Hannah, Gail, and LaRae in the exhibition building!
We met our cousins at the fair and the kids had a blast riding rides!!!
...waiting for the ferris wheel...
My cousins, Sherry and Barb, even got in on the fun!!!
My cousin Becky and her son Aiden - he was having a ball trying to win prizes!!!
Time to go with our trinkets and trash in tow :-)
Not done yet! We headed over to the hotel pool with the cousins to play some more and have dinner!!!
Cutest baby award definitely goes to Audrey, my cousin Becky's 7-month-old daughter, and great granddaughter of Dad's sister, Audrey June!
