The Wolff Pack: Whole Lot of Cloeters

Last weekend we went up to northern Wisconsin near Spooner for our Cloeter family reunion. Let me preface this with the fact that growing up, we used to have Cloeter reunions every couple years. My dad has 3 brothers, 3 sisters and they all have 2 or 3 kids. So there are a lot of Cloeter grandkids, all around the same age, all boys except for me and my 2 girl cousins (insert image of children of the 80s with bowl cuts, perms and high top tennis shoes). The reunions in the good 'ol days would vary in location from Minnesota to Michigan to Colorado. And we'd have talent shows, organized activities and family meals.

As the years have passed, my dad and his brothers and sisters still get together each summer since they live all throughout the states. This time around, there was more of an effort to get some of the cousins together if they could make the trip. There were a few of us there at different points throughout the weekend, and many of us with our own kids now. We had a blast catching up and enjoying the northwoods together. Now if only we had a full week instead of a weekend...and if only we had put on a talent show.

All the great grandkids with Grandma Cloeter, who is 92 might I add! It was entertaining to get them to all sit still, look at the camera and not cry. As you can see it really didn't work...
