At the end of the week with Southern California cousins visiting in Washington State, the party shifted down to Southern California with more cousins and aunts and uncles for what we have dubbed these gatherings, Bag-o-rama! Josh and Laura flew down to catch our visiting Bagdanov-Dallas family along with more of our family in So Cal! I’m living these events vicariously with photos shared.
First stop, my sister Vera’s home, where my brother Leonard’s family were staying. They are the Dallas fam.
Our youngest niece, Hope, enjoying Jamie’s sourdough bread that Josh and Laura transported to So Cal.
Saturday was beach day!
Party shifted from the beach to their cousin Debbee and Lenny’s home in Huntington Beach.
On Sunday Bag-o-rama continued at Debbee and Lenny’s home.
Half of the Bagdanov siblings were there. My brother Tim, sister Kathy, sister Vera and brother Leonard.
The Sunday crew of my brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, grand nieces, grand nephews, son and daughter-in-law.
Josh and Laura flew home on Sunday and some of the crew continued with Bag-o-rama at Disneyland on Monday. Earlier in the week my brother Steve and brother Leonard made a visit to our parents’ gravesides.
My parents would be pleased with all these gatherings. We carry on our pop’s now famous phone call or end of visits benediction, I love you, I love you, I love you.
This will wrap up my July posts. Onward to August for more fun in the sun!

Haha! You might be right!
Wonderful pictures to mark the memories made! California girl beauties on that beach!
Rosella, those beaches are always calling to land locked people. 🙂
It looks like they had so much fun together!
Lisa, they like to keep the fun rolling!
There is nothing quite like family! Love the photos
Cathy, yes, such a gift from God to enjoy!
SO much family fun and adventures! I loved seeing all of the pictures…especially the last one of your precious parents.
Thank you Dianna, our parents told us to love each other and stay together.
What great pictures! Looks like fun was had by all and the memories that were made are precious.
Thank you for stopping by, Maria!
July looks like it was a great month for you all. 🙂
Karen, it was a marathon!
So many cousins! I have such a small family – which I love! But it is fun to see so much family (and the love) gathered together and enjoying one another!!
Jennifer, It’s probably because I have 7 siblings. My grands won’t experience many cousins. Thank you for your kindness.
What wonderful family photos and love all the cousins hanging together! I hope that for my grandchildren. Have a nice week!
Heartwarming! Love to see the gatherings and the love!
