Zimmerman Family Reunion

Last Saturday we took a day trip to Camden, South Carolina, home of Uncle Sonny and Aunt Tish, for a Zimmerman family reunion. They were kind enough to open up their lovely home and pool to a bunch of crazy relatives. We had a wonderful time. We were a little nervous crossing into South Carolina because of last year's fiasco, but we made it all the way there and home without a problem. (Last year when we left St. Simons we were supposed to be driving to Ohio for Andy's cousin's wedding and to see the other side of his family. However, the water pump in the truck only made it to Orangeburg, SC.)

The gathering Saturday included most of Papaw's siblings and a few of their kids and grandkids. I will try to at least say who everyone belongs to in the group picture. I'm trying to do better at learning all of Andy's cousins and their spouses and children, but I still get a little mixed up at times. Chrissy and her family had been in Myrtle Beach the week prior so they came on over on the way home so Aiden had Drew to play with. As the day grew to a close Aiden and Drew held court in the screened-in porch playing ball and chasing each other around.

Ok, here goes... on the steps L to R is Andy, Aiden and me, Andy's cousin Vicky and her husband David, their 2 kids and Vicky's sister, Jenny's 2 kids. Vicky and Jenny are 2 of Aunt Teresa and Uncle Jim's kids. In the back are Sonny and Tish's daughters Gretchen, with her husband Greg and Lauren with her boyfriend, Vicky with her boyfriend, Aunt Tish hiding behind Memaw, Uncle Jim and Aunt Teresa, Aunt Denise and Uncle Billy, Aunt Amy, Uncle Rich and their daughter Renee, Sonny and Tish's daughter Kristen, Papaw, Uncle Sonny, Andy's sister Chrissy and her husband David and their kids Drew, Zack, Donovan and Jeremy. Sorry to the ones whose names I forgot or misspelled! The ones in blue are Papaw's siblings.

Papaw brought his keyboard to provide the "live entertainment."
Aiden loves to play with Papaw, so they had to perform a couple of duets.

Memaw and her youngest grandboys: Aiden and Drew.

Aiden entertained everyone by putting on Andy's size 13s and walking around the screened-in porch in them. He's gotten to where he likes having everyone watching him.
