Kelly Reunion

The Illinois Os headed to the banks of the Kankakee River in charming Wilmington, IL for the Kelly Family Reunion. Cathie and her siblings have 35 first cousins!! It was a lot of fun for Chris to see cousins he hadn't seen in years, and Cora and I enjoyed meeting new friends and spending time with loved ones.


The weather didn't cooperate, so the reunion moved to Hayden's Crossing. It was a super-cute bar in the historic downtown. Good food, a keg of beer, singing and plenty of merry making. Aunt Mags got the party started by dancing, and Cora and cousin Gillian were quick to join in.
