Annual Raabe Reunion


Here we are, the Raabe (sounds like Ray-be) crew minus Uncle Lou. I love that we still make this event a priority every year. We even headed home from our vacation a day early to make it out to the lake. I will admit, a group this big can have it's issues sometimes but at the base of it all there is love.

Activies include...
GIFT EXCHANGE
BUG COLLECTION
JUGGLING
BIKES . SCOOTERS . RIPSTICKS
ARCHERY

PAPER AIRPLANE CONTEST
BINGO
FRIED CRITTERS
CAMPFIRE & SMORES
Each year is a little different from the one before, we have been in South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa and way back when we even went to Missouri to a KC Royals game. The common denominator is family. For the most part there's no electronic devices so we spend time together catching up, taking nature walks, swimming and boating when the engine works. Make time for the ones you love, it is important.

If a picture is really worth a thousand words than we can all pretend that I wrote a very long blog post.
