2010 Garcia Family Reunion

This year's reunion was held in San Antonio, Texas on Saturday, July 31st. The four of us stayed at the Holiday Inn Express (Room 609) off of 410 near the airport. Even though our family reunion didnt actually start until Saturday, we arrived Friday as it allowed time for the boys to adjust and also to have time visiting Gramma and Grampa.
The Garcia Family Crest

Our branch is in purple text. Julian, Jr. is my grandfather. This is a very small part of the actual family tree. Our family has been researched and recorded back to 1595.

The purple branch:
Garcia children: Christine (my mom), center front, uncle Fred, back row-yellow shirt, aunt Olivia, front row-next to my dad, aunt Belinda, back row-next to Tammy, uncle Rick, front row-gray shirt. Not in photo:Donato, Christopher, Chad & Kim Jaso, Erin, Ryan & Travis Fisk, April Jones
LOL! Never a dull moment when my sis and I are together. :)
Poor Emory did not get enough attention at the family reunion. :o)




Sweet, sweet Emory did amazingly well. He absolutely LOVED all the snuggling he received. Emory was recognized as being the youngest family member in attendance. Yeah Emory!!
Taking a well deserved nap. :)
Watching Finding Nemo. Could this be Everett's very first "dinner and a movie" date? :)
BINGO!

Live Auction in progress.
Horseshoe Competition


After several grueling hours, Uncle Fred and Cousin Freddy were awarded team champions.
This year I chaired "kids activities" which included a fishing booth, matching duck game, cupcake walk, football throw challenge, pinata's, beaded bracelets and sunvisor crafts.
Everett was the second person to win a cupcake! Well deserved son!!
At the end of the day when there's beer left in the keg, what should one do? Ask these men. :o)
A fun time was had by all. Our next reunion will be in 2012; my sister Tammy and cousin, Shannon will co-chair the event. It's funny to think Emory will be the age Everett was at this year's reunion and Everett will be the age of both Jordan cousins. :) The next family reunion will be here before we know it and whatever the exact date is, we're looking forward to it!!
