Eppinger Reunion

Last weekend we traveled down to Concord, GA for the annual Eppinger family reunion. (The Eppinger family is Bert's Mom's mom's side of the family...)  We ate lots of great food and we had such a great time hanging out w/ family!  As soon as we got there Emily was picked up by her Great-Great Aunt Mae (94 years old)...she just walked Emily around to visit w/ all the different family.  Bert literally had to convince her to let us take Emily back so that she could eat lunch...it was so sweet.

Bert's grandmother grew up in Concord, GA and the road we are on in the picture below is actually named after her family....Eppinger Bridge Road.  It's a tradition to walk down to the bridge.  Here is a small part of the whole family. (This is Bert's brother, sister and some first cousins and their kids only... All in all, there were about 50 people there!)

After the reunion we headed over to the Concord Jubilee.  Bert was excited when he found out that it fell on the same weekend that we were going to be in Concord.  He said that I was missing out on a huge part of his childhood not having ever been.  His grandfather used to set up a booth every year and he would always go w/ him and spend the whole weekend there.  We all enjoyed just walking around and looking at the different booths and what they had to offer.  I don't think any of us actually bought anything (besides drinks), but we had a great time!!  Emily was asleep for most of it...

Saturday night Jeff and Linda (Bert's parents) treated all of us to dinner at Ben's.  Dinner was SO good and we really enjoyed just being able to sit down and chat for awhile after a busy day.  Emily got a little fussy right after we got to the restaurant so Jeff took her on a walk around the restaurant and calmed her right down.  Here's a picture I snapped of Emily w/ her grandparents and her cousin Aidan.  

I just love this picture.  I think it is so sweet.  She's very loved by her Pawpaw and Grandmama. :)

The whole group minus Carrie and Quinn.  We really missed both of y'all!!  

We had such a fun weekend!  Can't wait to see everyone again in just a couple weeks!!
