Johnson Reunion

In late June Bobcat packed her bags for a trip to Kentucky. The frequent flier had a smooth trip from San Diego to Louisville, wooing the other passengers along the way with smiles, babbles, and waves. Although she's a handful, Josie is a very good traveler. It's much harder for her to catch a nap mid-flight, but sleepiness, not ear pressure, is her primary issue.

In Bardstown Josie was reunited with her grandparents, a bevy of great aunts, Aunt Terri, and cousins Jack, Max, and Maggie. She hadn't seen her Wilton cousins for almost a year, and the reunion was sweet.

Josie loved Maggie's stylish bath-hawk.

Next the family travelled southwards to Rough River State Park to connect with the Johnson throngs. At the annual reunion she met some of her many Johnson kin including lots lots and lots of great aunts, uncles, first cousins once removed, second cousins, second cousins once removed, etc, etc. Aunt Amy Beth, Uncle Keith, and cousin Preston also arrived to round out the available immediate family.

Hey Dad, I'm going to pull that wig off!

Before returning to San Diego, the family made a quick jaunt to Clarksville, TN to see Aunt Rebecca and Uncle John and tour their new old house. The crushing climate kept the family indoors through the heat of the day, but there was plenty of fun to be had with canine cousin Dixie. With Edinboro, PA only a 10 hour drive away, Grammy and Grandpa Bob couldn't keep away.

Till next summer, y'all!
