Once a year, in the Fall, my side of the family – my parents, siblings & families get together for a couple days. It’s always a highlight! Our family was a bit bigger this year, having gained two sons-in-law. 😀

Susie suggested that we should make Grandpa’s onion rings…great idea! It was pretty windy & we had to figure some options out, but huge thanks to Naomi & Keira who worked hard to make them for us (along with fried pickles & mushrooms)
