Marrs Family Reunion 2013
Every
year my paternal Granpa’s family has a reunion. I think we are
pushing around 30ish years on this thing, kind of amazing
really.

When I was little we made a few trips to Roman Nose
State Park in Watonga, OK, not too far from where my Granpa spent his
youth. For many years we had them at my grandparents house on Grand
Lake, those hold some of my most treasured memories. We have many pictures too, I just don't have them here with my in Jersey.
Since my grandparents moved in the late 90’s we have been having the reunion at many different locations, we even made it back to Roman Nose a few years ago!

In 2011, I introduced my then soon-to-be husband to the
clan on a ranch in Western Oklahoma. I don’t know what overwhelmed
him more, the flat lands or the massive group!
It’s kind of crazy to me that when I join in this part of my family it’s mostly made up of cousins. My father was an only child, so I don’t have any 1st cousins in this group, but only my Great Aunt Alma and Great Uncle Ward aren’t called Cuz by me.
So, on July 12th I will be boarding a plane at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) bound for Eppley Airfield in Omaha, Nebraska! Once I land I will have a bit of a drive to get to Beaver Lake and I’m sure the return flight on Sunday will come way too quickly, but I am sure looking forward to seeing all these folks again!
I haven’t hugged some of them since the reunion in 2011, but many did attend my wedding in November of that year.
