We held our 4th annual family reunion on my Dad's side last weekend. Well, 4th since we've started again this round... it used to just be every holiday at Grandma & Grandpa's that we'd get to see this gang of seven kids with their spouses with their kids with their kids' spouses with their kids' kids. Now we've added some kids' kids' kids. That makes for quite a crowd! Since Grandma & Grandpa have passed & since this crazy group could barely squeeze into their house now anyway, we meet at the park. There's lots of jungle gyming & duck chasing
story telling & laughing,
chowing & grinning for photos with your mouth full,
chatting & relaxing,
singing & guitar playing
Nothing says Grandma's like a BIG potluck. I think they should make a different kind of plate for a family potluck so you can take one of everything. Or maybe that would require a tray...
Some family I see often, some I see once a year at this reunion, others who came this year I hadn't seen since our wedding! That's the beauty & trial of a big family: it's hard to find a time that works for everyone, but even with just half available it makes for quite the crew!
It was so nice to see you all! Hope to see you again next year... or before!
