The Long family reunion was, as always, a great time. They have picked fun locations for these gatherings, where there is something for everyone. The 2012 reunion was held in Cannon Beach, Oregon.
The Long Family
(minus the Kern group and a few others who arrived later)
The only negative was that it rained. A lot. Oh well, this is June in the Pacific Northwest. We didn't let it stop us!
Yes, we are dripping wet from the rain/sea mist. It was a nice walk anyway.
When the rain broke for an hour, folks pulled together a game of softball.
We even managed a few hours without rain for a
beach bonfire, including s'mores of course.
The elder generation:
Patsy, Harold, Norwood, Jack, Dick, and Bill
-still full of fun and good tales!
Our personal fave elder, Harry or 'HK',
who laughs so hard at his own jokes that he tears up.
With the rain falling outside, we spent more time chatting it up with family we don't see often...which is sort of the whole point of a reunion anyway. ;)
Harry, Lillian, and Sheena
We played a very serious round of Bingo one evening.
And we ate a lot of good food.
H and the C monkey
On the day we were driving home, the sun came out! So we spent a couple hours basking in its warmth (65 degrees?!?) and enjoying the beach.

T pulled out the 'World's Smallest Kite' and it flew quite well.
Sheena & C-bear
C gazes in awe at the amazing kite flown by his mother.
A few more Long folks that were tardy for the first pic.
