Our Very First Likkel Reunion

This was a special week for me as many members of the Fred Likkel family came to Lynden for our first ever family reunion. Ivan & Kay invited everyone to the Northwood pavilion - in their backyard - for a Thursday nite welcome wiener roast.
I missed the "pizza in the park" Friday nite gathering. On Saturday everyone spent the day at Ryan and Traci's visiting, playing games and enjoying a catered dinner.
I walked from table to table attempting to speak with everyone I could. It was so fun as our families - even the local ones - have grown and changed so much.


Missy brot this tree and assembled a visual representation of each family.
Melissa drew an amazing family tree.
Since the most family attended this meal an attempt was made to take family pictures. This is our Calvin Likkel picture. Unfortunately many were not able to be in it with us.
This picture is of all the Likkel first cousins with only a few missing.
On Sunday we were again at the Northwood pavilion for family worship. So special.
This is the Fred Likkel Bible that quite honestly I didn't even know existed.
Uncle Stan wanted his grandkids to see his story "How David Killed Goliath" that he wrote as a memory for Uncle David. They loved the story!
More food and fellowship.
