Well I survived the reunion. 

This year we wanted to go someplace, just slightly cooler than the surface of the sun.   Of course that place is Columbia, SC. 
Columbia is latin for “melt your shoes”.

Everything was ready as we arrived.

Our host, uncle Teddy was on the phone giving directions to the party.

The “northern” part of the Wilson clan was there.

There is never a shortge of entertaiment at one of our family events. 

Here we see two of our favorites combined.  Spin the cousin and mud bog.

No expense was spared.  The swimming pool was ready for those needing to cool off.

Finally we all gathered to toast the recent graduation from high school of cousin Aynor.  He was named for that small town just above Conway.  Seems thats where he was conceived.  His parents, my “distant” aunt and uncle had car touble on the way to beach and well, he was the only thng they brought back from the coast. 

Nothing beats a good family reunion moment…shared by those linked to you by DNA….and NOT by choice.
