Schmidt Family Reunion
Summer is a great time to get together and eat, and that's just what we did. The annual Schmidt family reunion was in Madison at Karen and Mel's this year. I actually went home for two days before I joined up with the clan on Saturday, but the festivities started on Friday night with cheese and wine tasting. Lesley said some of the wine was very delectable.
On Saturday after I arrived with Jody, John, Collin, and Morgan, we found our way down to State Street where there was a large art festival going on. The art was nice to look at albeit pricey, but the highlight of that endeavor was the fresh kettle corn that we bought.
Here is Lesley and I with a guest appearance from her cousin Collin. :)
Saturday evening was spent mingling at Karen and Mel’s enjoying the various appetizers and drinks, and for dinner they served lasagna and pizza on the grill which was a new experience for us. I also “participated” in lawn games such as croquet (read: even the seven year old beat me). Sunday morning involved a brunch hosted again by Karen and Mel, which again had amazing food. All in all, a very fun weekend and we will look forward to seeing the family again soon!
Here we all are!
