Over the 4th of July weekend my parents, Bryan, Keoni and I drove down to Nevada to attend the Hicks-Williams family reunion. My Grandma is a Williams and a lot of family lives around where she lives. It was a lot of fun to see relatives that I had never met before. It was also wonderful to be able to see relatives I only see now and then. It was a lot of work getting it all together but with all of our family we got it done. It was a Friday and Saturday affair, with music, swimming, dancing, talking and lots of food!

Uncle David and Bryan jammed with local musicians.

Megan and her Mom, Aunty Iris.

My cousin Joseph with his wife, Sheila and their son Graeson.

My mom and of course, Keoni!

Grandma, Karen and Jeannie. I hadn't seen Jeannie and Karen in years. . . and years!

Grandma, Aunty Laura, Keoni and me gathering right before a little celebration of my cousin Sidney's birthday.

Daddy and Keoni enjoying the pool! It was so nice to get to go swimming in the hot weather.

Gordon showed us all quite a beautiful display of how our ancestors used to dance.

His sister also showed us a woman's dance. She brought tears to my eyes.

There was so much more family than I could name or take pictures of but I thought I would share just a glimpse of our weekend. Happy 4th of July!!
