Wegener Family Reunion

We all look forward to the Wegener family reunion every year.

This year was no exception but ended up being a little different.

First off, the day after we arrived home from our girls trip was Father's Day.

We were all getting together at our house... 22 of us for dinner to celebrate the awesome Dad's in our life.

It was there that I heard that Becky had COVID and was not doing well.  

Kimi had stayed home from the father's day dinner because she was sick. 

Her girls had been/were getting sick. 

I wasn't feeling fantastic and had started with a cold/cough the day before.  

Paige was sick. 

And we'd all been on the girls trip together.

Hindsight says I should have excused myself from the group because I wasn't feeling well... and taken a COVID test.

But I didn't, until the next morning when Lydia woke up with a sore throat.

Mine was positive... Lydia's was negative, as were all of the other people (besides Becky) who took tests.  So I milked it for a few days staying in my bed away from everyone, but I really didn't feel much worse than a bad cold.

The problem was that the family reunion started on Thursday... and I had exposed EVERYONE Sunday.  I felt terrible about that. :(

So I had everyone except Lydia and I go up to the reunion Thursday.  And then we came up (with my mom) who wasn't feeling well with non COVID related symptoms.  Meanwhile, my dad had woken up with a bad sore throat at the reunion that morning.  So he went to the health clinic there and had a COVID test that was negative... but he came home to rest and hopefully not spread it more.

We missed him being there!  I mean it's their family reunion! :(

Interestingly no one else ever tested positive. Which leaves a lot of questions but???

So that's a long story to say that I missed the first day but I loved being able to be there when I could!! 

There was the family golf tournament.

 

Lots of games, kickball, pickleball, corn hole etc etc

Time spent at the beach and pool.

Late night werewolf games. 

This year we started a 1 mile run race... but only my family... minus myself participated. ;)

Mia snuggles.

Always delicious food!

We brought back the Raspberry shack challenge.

I wish I kept the exact totals... but I'm pretty sure that Chevron and Zipz were really close for favorite.

Interestingly LaBeaus came dead last.

Ephram's and Shoka (previously Ber's) were in the middle.

Pickleville dinner and show is always a highlight!

Thanks mom and dad!

Such a fun show!

All 7 siblings

We headed to church... then had a little photo shoot by Sadie. hahaha she is hilarious!

This year we did fantastic with videos, but not so great with pictures.

But the memories are still there!

Can't wait for next year!
