The weekend prior to Halloween we traveled to Neeses, SC for the Till family reunion. I love large families and am honored to be from one that still makes the effort to get together every 2 years to reconnect. Most of the Tills are from SC, however, we had family come from as far away as CO and TX for the event! I love that so many in my family make this gathering a priority in their lives even if they live far far away and its only for 1 afternoon. I have so many memories from being little riding horses on the farm and fishing. There are no longer horses but my cherished moments at the reunion have now turned to looking over the family tree and old photos of my grandparents when they were young as well as watching my own children make memories of carving pumpkins and taking turns driving the big tractor during the hay ride around the farm.
I didn't get to take nearly as many pictures as I would have liked this year as Tilley was even more of a mama's girl than usual due to teething, but here are some images of our time on the farm :)
