McCall Family Reunion

For those of you who don't know, or who have forgotten, my mother was a McCall before she married a McCaul. Now, before you think we're some kind of Deep South inbreds, let me explain. Mother was Jackie McCall of the Geneva, Alabama McCall's. She married Ron McCaul of the Kalamazoo, Michigan McCaul's (yes, I'm 50% Yankee, don't tell anyone). So, after Mother married, her legal name became Jackie McCall McCaul. Also, Eli is Elijah McCall Walker - named for my mother's side.
So, the McCall's had their family reunion this weekend as we do every June on the Saturday after Father's Day. We have it in a different city each year, depending on which family hosts. This year, it was in Niceville, Florida hosted by the Spence & Apfel families. There are a lot of McCall roots in Niceville.
The photograph on the cake above is of Alex & Emma McCall -- that would be my great, great grandparents. Alex & Emma had a son, Daddy Doc, who had a son Daddy Mac, who had my mother Jackie. Got it?
Below are some pictures of the wonderful time we had:
