It's reunion time again.

Anyone with any claim to the Beazer name was invited to the annual reunion. Nothing fancy, we meet for a pot luck lunch at Krupp Scout Hollow, (the original Beazer Family Farm), where we remind each other of who we are, and take a few pictures before heading across the road for train rides.

So who came...... Beth (oldest daughter of Irving) and her family

Wendell's (Oldest son of Irving) Son, Adrian and wife

Merle (2nd daughter of Irving) and family

Beverly (3rd daughter of Irving) and family

Richard's (2nd son of Irving) wife, son and daughter-in-law

Gay (next to youngest son of Irving) and Cheryl

Gerald and daughter, Steve and wife, (they belong to Roland, Irving's brother)

The Krupps (yup, that's where the Scout Hollow name comes from, and they belong to Irving's sister)

The living family that remembers hanging out at Grandma's house. Their parents, Roland and Irving made the blocks it is built from. Lot's of memories with these folks.

After eating, talking, reminiscing, taking and looking at pictures, and exploring the house it's time to ride the train, something that is enjoyed by all, young and not so young alike.

Loaded and ready for departure.

When you weren't on the train you could be found under the big pine tree enjoying more talking, reminiscing and have a great time.

Let's do it again next year.

Family Reunion

It's reunion time and with a Beazer reunion come certain things. Lots of food, good memories and of course train rides. Dinner this year was held across the road at Krupp Scout Hollow, which was originally the Beazer homestead and is now a cub scout day camp and other scouting things. (sorry I didn't get any pictures) The older relatives enjoyed reminiscing about what used to be where and the what they did. There was plenty of grass for the little ones to run and play. The only draw back was the dark clouds and brisk wind which kept coats on everyone. After eating and playing the action moved across the road to Beazerville and the Beazer ShortLine. Hats and scarves were handed out to all the little ones and off they went on their adventures/rides. Giggles and screams of delight were heard for the next two hours as they boarded, changed seats, rang the bell and just had fun. There were several that even snuck into the raspberry patch, and one that was bound, gagged and tied to the track

Some of the original train riders.

Gay, Beverly, Beth, Afton (Dick's wife) and Gerald the engineer.

Some of the older kids set up a game of horseshoes in the garden.

Like all good reunions we met some new-to-the-reunion cousins, gave rides to lots of first timers, old and young, and enjoyed ourselves. Even the bored teenagers seemed to have fun.

Let's do it again in a few years.
