Ooh, that sounds fun! How big is the reunion?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, boo. I hope that most of the exhausting week was fun anyway?
Mostly, yes. But I realized that next week is even busier (and I just made the consultation appointment for my tattoo for Monday), so I need to rest & recuperate when I can. But maybe Dad and I will go thrifting tomorrow.

Jen - that sounds fun. I keep trying to tell my dad we need to do a reunion of his side of the family. My kids have extended cousins they have never met. That generation is starting to marry and have children.
I went out again. Needed to hit the store and instead of just grabbing the few urgent things, I did a full shop. Guh, feel even more crampy now.

How big is the reunion?
It really is so much fun.
It's not that big really -- it's the progeny of my dad and his brother (both of whom are deceased; my mom and aunt are both still alive and kicking) -- though we are four generations now. There will be, let's see... 28. So, you know, we don't need to rent out a hall and all that jazz. It's really two arms of the family that are closer than any other two on either side, which makes sense in my head... sometimes some of my aunt's family joins in, but not this year.

It really is cool, Suzi, and my one cousin and I are social organizery enough and into it enough that I really think we will keep it up on down the line. Then it'll be up to the next generation!
For some families what we call a reunion is probably, you know, extended Sunday dinner.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Phase one of my evil plan to hijack my niece's crappy disney princess obsession has begun...

Jen, that sounds like fun!
Allyson, that photo is fantastic. She's so wee and fierce!

Jen, our family is in CA, FL, CO, and DC. Plus one aunt and cousin are in Germany.
She is adorable Allyson. Hijack away!

Yeah, Suzi, if we extended it out to our second cousins and families, it'd be more like yours is spread, but since it's only two brothers... it's pretty contained. Well, no, actually probably out to Ohio and up to Main area. And I've actually met a lot of the second cousins, and they are awesome, but... yeah, we haven't gone all out.
But I still think you are right! Keep on your dad!
Allyson, that is awesome. She looks fierce!
