You know how sometimes you go to a family function and you leave with stories about drunk uncle Fred, or giggle about the crazy cat lady that brought pictures to show you of her 15 cats that she has at home. Perhaps you roll your eyes about how wild so and so's children are!
Well unless I am one or ALL of the persons mentioned above or .....all the crazy people stayed home this year! What an awesome family reunion! My Mom and her husband played host again this year and we had 47 people come to the reunion! Families from Delaware, NY, PA, & WV. Some came up for the day, some from the weekend. We had RVs parked in the drive way, people sleeping in tents, blow up mattress & fold out couches. I was actually a little sad that I live so close because we had to come home each night! :)
It was so awesome to see everyone and thanks to the Internet, we've been able to keep up with one an other's lives over the past 2 years. So we already knew a lot about what had been happening and we were able to skip the awkward "so what have you been up to?" and dive right into, I saw the pictures from when Dani was Annie in her school play.... tell me more.... I just felt way more connected to everyone!
Thank You so much to everyone who came! This weekend reminded me of our visits to Smethport, PA and having 40 people crammed in Grandma & Grandpa McCords house (with one bathroom no less)!!! Wonderful memories and we definitely made a lot more this weekend! See ya in 2012!!!
