Harris Family Reunion Pictures

You may recall that the Wren’s Nest hosted a Family (and friends) Reunion and Centennial Celebration on Saturday, July 19th.  It went swimmingly, in case you were wondering.

Attendees of the Harris Family Reunion

(Hi everyone!)

And now, but a quick month later, we’re ready to post the pictures!  Thanks for maintaining an undoubtedly high level of excitement for this long.

Sign-in at the family reunion

Here’s Board member Jodi signing in guests, as Jim Auchmutey breathes it all in.  Thanks for the article, Jim!

Storytelling Garden Fishbowl

Look how many people we had!  You can see our super fancy tent in the background too, if you’re into that kind of thing.

Happy Attendees

Boy howdy, was everyone having a great time.

The Reveal of the Harris Family Tree

The big reveal: the Harris family tree.  Breathtaking, really.

Gil Watson and the Children

Here’s Gil Watson, local Harris impersonator, amusing the children with tales of sweating through wool suits and later having your fake mustache fall off as a result.  Or, you know, Brer Rabbit.  I’m really not sure.

Wren's Nest Board Members in attendance

These are some of our Board members.  Very few of them read the blog.  So, um, hi to the three of you that do!

The Youngest in the Harris Family, Getting Fresh

These are some of the youngest folks in the Harris family and, if I’m to understand it correctly, our future.  The future looks like it’s getting fresh.

You can find more pictures (like, way more — probably more than you want) on our Facebook page. Not a fan of the Wren’s Nest yet?  What’s the deal?

    I am not sure how this happened, but one of the children is in the picture twice. Maybe you should get your camera fixed.

  2. Joe says:

    Don’t ignore the fact that you still have a chance to make some little Harris children of your own to share that future, Lain.

  3. Ronni French says:

    Hi back ! – as one of the three, I appreciate the photos. It was a great event -

    Kirk, we’ve got Wren’s Nest interns working on the camera problem ’round the clock. Don’t worry.

  5. Lauren says:

    Boy howdy is right! You guys sure know how to throw one classy event! Well done, Nesters! Though I think Gil should have an authentic mustache… I’m partial to mustaches these days.

  6. Jodi says:

    yeah, that baby Bri Bri is a fresh one alright. Girls watch out. Him and Baby J (not pictured) are going to be big time Harris trouble together! That is if they lived in the same town…hint hint J&J. :)
