LeMaster Family Picnic 2012

Received my invitation last week to the upcoming family picnic on September 8, 2012 at my folks.  Looking forward to seeing cousins again.  

This will be Piper's introduction to the family reunion.  I need to be sure to take plenty of pictures.  Dad has been working on his notebooks of information on the family history to share, and I need to be sure to collect email address and phone numbers. 

Will have my Flip-Pal scanner there as well to capture any photographs that are brought.  Need to also remember to get the older generations' memories of relatives who have passed on to flesh out the details of the family history.
