Gentober Fest!













Fifteen cousins, twenty-two great grandchildren...most within a 2-hour driving
radius. That's a lot of Gentines, and good reason to celebrate in the best way a cheese family can--Gentober Fest. This year's second annual Gentober Fest was at Kristin and Greg's house, fitting as it used to be our grandparents' place and the house that all of our parents grew up in. Cheese, sausage, beer, the infamous cheesy potato dish, brats, burgers, 7-layer bars, s'mores, a decent amout of beer....and a round of Jagger shots.Princess shows and dress-up clothes, a bon fire and swapping stories while eating sticky marshmellows off of perfect roasting sticks. Next year, Tony, we're bringing back the Bernie. And you might have to be responsible for its appearance.
Enjoy the photos! (Wish I had more!)

Sis-
Those are great pics. Thanks for the email today, and I love hearing about the pedestrians in Paris and the friendliness of everyone. Nothing like the hospitality of a stranger to bring a smile to your face. Glad to hear you are enjoying it.
Love ya-
Jon
