My great-grandpa Lemert owned a large fruit farm where I was blessed to grow up. Some of my fondest memories are on that farm and will always hold them close. Last year my great-aunt Linda (Grandpa Lemert's granddaughter), hosted the first Lemert Family Reunion. We weren't able to go as the girls were only 2 months old, and the drive is around 5 hours. This year we were able to go and had a great time! The girls were so well-behaved (especially only having about an hour nap that day) and had fun meeting all their long-distance relatives. Lauren won a prize for being the youngest "Lemert" and we all won prizes for playing Bingo. We're in charge of next year's reunion and I'm so excited!


Whitney had her first taste of the Lemert-family punch recipe. It was very well received...


Lauren and cousin Lindsay singing some karaoke!


Lauren and "pampaw" Zumbaugh are bestest buds.


We had noodles (which my grandma and great-aunt make and they're to DIE for), corn, pasta salad and lots of other Lemert-family recipe goodies!


Great-aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, daughters, sons, grandma's and grandpa's. There were about 5 generations of "Lemert" family there.


Great-Grandpa Lemert's daughter's, Aunt LaVerne (the girls' great-great-aunt!) and Grandma Zumbaugh (the girls' great-grandma). Can you tell they're sisters?!
