Hess family reunion


Of course I did not bring my camera to this!! But a couple of weeks ago we went to our biannual Hess family reunion. This is quite a big event and Matt's ambitious father puts the whole thing together. So John W. Hess and his ?seven? wives settled in old downtown Farmington so we get together at the old rock church and Chuck has all kinds of speakers there and talks about all kinds of Hess family stories. Matt and I watch kids so that the parents can listen and then we all just eat!! This year the Farley family reunion dude came and he was Hilarious!! Although this is Matt's side of the fam and although even Matt doesn't know half the people that are there (there was at least 100) it is such an awesome tradition and Chuck does a wonderful job at putting it all together and doing the research and the genealogy for his family. I know that one day my children are really going to love the many books that have been put together and the many memories that they will have of attending these reunions.
