Natale Family Picnic

Every year on Memorial Day, the whole regular crew meets up for the annual Natale Family Picnic. This was my 15 one!


We love this picnic. It will be so sad to miss it next year. The food is always plentiful and amazingly good. Jim runs the grill (insert manly Tim Allen noises here). The Moms go to the playground with the kiddos (where unfortunately Jimmy fell off of the monkey bars, chipped his front tooth and split his lip open). The parents play cards, our generation plays poker and there is the ever famous Natale v. Saltis softball game. (The Natales always win!)

Jim multitasking. Eating chips and flipping the BBQ.




Here are some pictures sent to me by Aunt Karen and Uncle Bob (Because our camera had dead batteries) We always take Generation pictures. Its sad to see the older generation growing smaller, but the newest generation fills me with great hope for the future. Nana and Aunt Vi
The Parents. MIL and FIL are in the Center.
Our Generation. 5 of them are Jims Brothers and Sisters!
The Kiddos. And the Moms of the newest Natale Family Babies.

Notice how my kids are all hugging someone? Isn't that cute?


Of course I have to include the proud New Grand Mothers.

Big family! It's so fun to see pictures of the kids. I can definitely see you in them. Thanks for the comment on our camping video. We hadn't been to those places since we were kids (probably with you), so it was fun to go back!
