It has been so long since I posted to this blog, I hardly know how. I'm sure no one is actually following it any longer as I haven't posted in sooooo long. But, a gathering of 41 of my closest relatives is certainly reason enough to upload some photos and describe a few experiences. My one photo goal was to snap one with all 22 grandkids in the same photos with Hugh and me. That is not an easy task with four of the new ones less than 1 1/2 years old. I told all the "big" kids I would take them to Circle K for a slurpee if they would just smile in the group photo. Bless their hearts, most of them tried hard to make it happen. And with a few head swaps via photoshop, I might even have a frame-worthy photo. Catch the photos of all the girls in green pixie outfits and the boys in football jerseys and you have PAJAMA NIGHT. The kids always look forward to the matching pajamas they receive every year. Crafts. Scripture Skits. Church. Hugh's Birthday. Then there is the Disneyland shirt. This year, all the names of the forty-one family members are written on the surfboard. We moved around in a light blue gang throughout the magic kingdom. Suffice it to say, it was Cousin Paradise, and the rest of us managed to come home with some nice memories of our own childhood days at the beach. Mostly, the adults just look forward to a good night's sleep in their own bed.
