This past Saturday, the Swanson Family’s traditional Summer Get Together and Annual WaterFight, took place at Cousin Tim’s place. 51 folks, young and old, attended the festivities according to the people counter, Aunt Christine, including the newest member of the Swanson Family, Tanner:
We were able to do a set of Group Photo’s after dessert. Some had to go by then, but this photo shows their exuberance:
And here is a group photo, sans me and with Christine!:
There was a large back yard which made ample room for the Annual WaterFight and some shade for folks:
The Annual Waterfight is now a tradition, started by Lydia and hosted for years by Ingrid and Martin. This year, their son Tim was the host. His home on a hill with orchards is mostly done, but still getting some final touches. Thanks for letting us all join in this event, Tim!
Here is a Gallery of some shots we took. If you have some to add to it, send them to me. (Please look here first to insure the photos sent are not already included.)
