Big Family
Its amazing how many family members attended the reunion and enjoyed the get together. Hard to imagine that Grampa St.Croix (John Albert St.Croix, Big Papa's Father )was an only child and on this occasion there were 47 descendants present. It was a great get together and fun to see that the torch had been passed. In the games Our boys and wives did not participate. The participants included grandchildren and great grandchildren. No team had a husband or wife or sister or brother or child. They were all divided up. Took a lot of work Jon. Good Job. The competiveness of the St Croix's was well noticed. It's part of their heritage.You have to work hard to stay ahead. Noah, Sam and Mark enjoyed the pool. Riley and Julian had fun and Roman and Jaymeson joined together.4 of the little ones crashed and took a nap. Caroline liked the peanut game and I think Mike soaked his cell phone with the water game. The games were the highlight of the day . Wiith each team making their own banner they all worked together including the wee ones who helped paint. Rumor has it Jonna helped Eva carry her peanut. The final swim gave Jared a few scratches. Should know your Sister is as competitive as you are. We also met 3 new young men who we guess are ready to join the clan. Lotz of good company , everyone had a chance to catch up on what the others had been doing the past year. Kudos to the commiteemen Jon and Jan. 2 Teams tied for golf winners. Thanks to Jay & JoAnn for hosting at the compound. All in all can't help but say it was a great day with great weather.We missed those who couldn't attend but hope next year we'll add a few more to the clan including a couple new ones. Thank you to all and if Papa and I pop a few buttons its because you all make us so proud of our great family.

Guess Jon will have to make "5" teams next year to keep all brothers and sisters off the same team.....have fun Jon!!! Nice job and effort by all can't wait until next year.
I don't think we have to worry about making 5 teams next year because the little one will just be too little unless he's talented like his dad whoever that is????I think somebody else should run the games next year.I think everybody should take a turn!!!!As far as the nephews winning again Jay,even though their your sons,your part of that uncle team.You might want to hope Joel comes next year....The family from West Carthage had a great time "Thanks to all of you"...Eva now would like to thank you...u3y82ygsgsgssdbsxvgsdhhuueiiriueiuieuieeiuehruyeyerygytt7yyyyyyyyuosddtwrehwtyerrweweytnbndnshnxnwnnsnsnsnsnxdnsdnxnwehe3ehteeeyehhhhwhweh
Big Papa and Big Amma,
My family would like to thank you for getting this clan started. I know that our families are very diverse and spread out, but it is enjoyable when we all get together. Thanks for getting it started. Hero & Jan: Great job organizing the games and party. The games were very enjoyable(Ryan, you better look out you abuser). I know it was a lot of work, but you guys did great. Papa Jay & Momma Jo: Thanks for hosting the party, it was great. I know that it took alot of work to get everything ready saturday am and withour you little elfs it probably would have taken you a long time so thanks to them as well. All in all, it was great weekend.
