Since we're getting ready for family reunions, I thought you might enjoy a look at one of the early Kennington reunions. Unfortunately there's no label on the back, but it looks like somewhere up Swift Creek or Grey's River about 1910-25. They're in a stand of thick timber, so probably up a canyon, but not so far that they would miss chores for long.... Anyone know where? Maybe the South End or West hills?
The ladies on the right were the aunts - maybe Molly and Belle? Everyone looks ready to rough it. I would guess the plucky little gal with her hands on her hips in the middle would be Maude K. Ranzenberg.
The George Kennington reunion in Brigham City and the big Weber one in South Jordan (moved from Freedom) will be outfitted a little differently. We'll all look pretty polished compared to this group, but important things will remain the same.
Getting re-acquainted with family is great. We will miss the ones who have passed on and enjoy seeing the new arrivals. The little kids will be running around laughing, the moms will be supervising the food, the dads will relax and visit, and the teenagers will be wishing they could get back to their friends - unless other cousins bring really "interesting" friends with them. Most importantly, we will reaffirm the fact that we are all part of an eternal family. See you this summer!
