The Allen Family held their annual family reunion at Mission Bay Park on June 8th for their, every 2-year big summer get-together, filled with relatives and best friend’s.
The friendly Allen Family folks spent the day sharing old memories and making some new ones, laughing-out-loud while enjoying each other’s company.
“It was nice to see everybody that could make it, unfortunately everybody couldn’t make it because of health issues and things but they would send money and support in other ways, but it was really nice and I know I had a good time,” shared family member Steve Allen. “You have to realize this might be the last time some of us see each other, we need to enjoy and appreciate each other. I think our family reunions are the best way to do that.”
What would a big summer family celebration be without an all you can eat and take home BBQ soul food feast featuring Country-Yams, Aunt Betty’s famous potato-salad, hand-crafted cornbread, mean-greens, sweet-potatoes pie, cake, Phil’s BBQ, and more.
Grill master’s Christopher and Jason kept the grill smoking; cooking up burgers, links, and dogs.
