It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. So I want to give you a thick novel's worth of pictures from the Paxman Family Reunion which I attended from July 1 to July 8. I will indicate when the pictures are NOT mine, otherwise, they are memories that I wanted to catch on film (and still had camera battery to take them!) They will not be in chronological order; that is, when they happened during the week. I hope you enjoy them!

It is less than a five-minute walk from the Paxman home in Saline, Michigan to a lake. This body of water is a perfect place for all ages to have fun, and in the case of the reunion, to strengthen family ties. I think everybody but Rick and Richard Lin got in on the action!

Another activity that some of us enjoyed was playing "disc golf" or Frisbee golf, in which one attempts to throw a disc into a basket some 75-120 yards away in three tries. Some of the time is spent looking for errant discs. I had played "disc golf" before, and got pretty good toward the end of the reunion. The next four pictures are not mine.

Yet another activity was canoeing for some eight miles down the Huron River. One picture is us on a bus to the launch point. Some people fell in the river; I didn't. I finally got the hang of stopping us from hitting a limb or another canoe near the end. It was a lot of fun. Didn't get too sunburned.
