O'Neill Family Reunion- 7/28/07

This Saturday we spent the day at the annual O'Neill reunion in Pennsylvania and had the chance to show Connor off to lots of family. The O'Neill get togethers are always a big adventure with many branches of the family tree coming together to celebrate. As always, we gathered at the Revloc pavilion- about 100 O'Neill, Robine, Ruffley and Burkhart's, ranging in age from 4 weeks to 90 years old! This year there were lots of kids playing games and running around. Connor will be very lucky with lots of playmates when he gets a bit bigger!


Four Generations of O'Neill's- Pat, Rosalyn, Connor and Scott

Connor was so good all day and barely fussed. He was so patient as he got passed around and everyone complimented his red hair! He snuggled up and even fell asleep in the arms of Nicole, Judy, and Twila.

One of the highlights of the reunion each year is the sports. Basketball, softball and volleyball are the usual activities. Scott's favorite is basketball and he looks forward to it all year! He was afraid he'd be unable to play this year since he had his knee surgery last fall and has not been playing ball yet this summer. He couldn't resist the urge to play any longer. Three games later, he still felt good and no sign of any trouble with his knee! He was so excited to be able to get out there and play and will likely have more basketball plans in the near future at home.




All in all, a great time was had as usual by the O'Neill clan! Connor was poopered out by the end of the day and sacked out for a nap in the grass!
