Family Reunion

Saturday, July 22, 2017 - Indianapolis, IN

Yesterday Tony, Alex and Nick left for their guys trip, which left Miranda and I home for the weekend.  We got up early this morning to head for Indianapolis for the Kirkhoff Family Reunion at Noblesville Park.  We had a really good turn out!

After lunch Mitch used his drone to take this great picture!

Not everyone was in the picture some of the kids and their parents were playing at the playground and some people had already left.  :)

Before any of my Mom and Dad's family left we took a picture of the group that was able to make it to the reunion.  And there are several of us missing.  :)

 This is a picture of the generations prior to mine.

I found out several things about my ancestry during the reunion.  One of the most interesting was the spelling of our last name.  It was originally spelled Kirchhof, but when a stone was carved for the front of the first Kirkhoff Plumbing building the person that carved the stone spelled it KIRKHOFF and that is the way it has been spelled for my family ever since.  :)

Earlier this week our front AC unit quit working.  On Tuesday the mobile service tech came out to look at it, but he had to order a part.  Mike said he was able to fix the unit this morning.  :)  Fortunately the main unit was able to keep up.  If it were in the month of June when it failed, the main unit may not have been able to keep up.

It was another wonderful day!
