Long rides to Pennsylvania for a giant family reunion means singing out our lungs and falling asleep on each other for my sister Katelynn and I. My family is from two different states Pennsylvania and North Carolina. We go up for a family reunion to catch up with our relatives every year and always have the reunion in Corry, Pennsylvania. The 12 hour boring car ride is always a time for my sister and I to have fun by listening to music together and nap on top of each other. The ride up to Pennsylvania always goes by so slow due to the anticipation of arriving and seeing all my aunts, uncles, and cousins in which we haven’t seen in a long time.

She is a very caring, curly haired, strong tempered young girl. She can be shy, and she can be loud. She is crazy and the youngest grandchild on my mother’s side and the middle child grandchild on my father’s side. She just turned thirteen and is already taller than me. She uses that excuse against me quite often. We are six years apart, and she is in eighth grade at Crest Middle school. She is the only one in my family who currently plays an instrument she plays the viola. My mother played the clarinet throughout middle and high school, and I played it for one year but didn’t like it to much so I quit playing it. We do everything together I take care of her on the weekends because my mom works on the weekend. Ever since I was younger I have helped my mother take care of her.

I stayed at my mother’s parents’ house on the weekends because my parents were working and my grandfather was telling the grandkids one day about how his family came to the USA in 1834 and landed in New York. His family then used the Hudson River and Erie Canal to get to Buffalo, New York then brought by ox team to Warren, Pennsylvania. He has documents where he will read out to us whenever we ask any questions about our history. I have also seen pictures of my great great grandparents along with my great grandfather when he was a child. My grandmother’s father was adopted, so she really doesn’t know much about her biological father’s family although her sisters are just now getting information to try and connect with their relatives. I often just ask my parents and grandparents about my family because I have always been curious in my family history and knowing where they were
