Ha Ha...this is our Family Reunion...All of Dad's brothers and sisters were invited to attend this reunion...we had some confirm and at the last minute pull out...we had some that had valid excuses for not being there and we missed them, but understood why they couldn't make, and we had some that just plain didn't come and didn't want to. It ended being my parents and 4 of their 6 kids. We had a great little reunion with just us...we still did what was planned and we had a great weekend. It was the 2nd weekend of June...June 11-12, 2010. Yep that was probably the worst attended family reunion ever put together in the history of family reunions...but you know what? It doesn't matter. As long as you can have fun with who you are with no matter who they are...that is all that counts. Friday we had a great picnic, it rained a little...so I was happy to see a rainbow joined us that evening (always a way for me to know that Joe isn't that far away). We played volleyball, ate good food, and just enjoyed each other's company. Saturday morning, Steve and I took all the kids on a hike...we hiked up tablerock...it was harder for some than others, but we all made it to the top and encouraged each other along the way...I am proud of each one of them for not giving up. We had a great discussion of our journey here on earth and as families how we can help each other reach our goals. It was a great moment on top of that hill with all of those kids. I will never forget it. We had some lunch, and all of us headed to the zoo! What fun we had, we spent a good solid 5 hours walking around the zoo, taking pictures and enjoying the animals. We ended our little reunion at Golden Coral with LOTS of food...once we were sufficiently full, we went home and chilled. It was a great weekend...with lots of lessons learned. I think I will stick to trying to get our own family together. There isn't a desire for the others to get together now. Hard lesson learned.

I didn't find out about it until 9 days before it happened. That makes it kinda hard to to attend!
With the economy the way it is its kinda hard for some people to come all the way there. Plus not everyone in the family has facebook. Had it been a little closer for all of us we probably could have come. We are sorry we couldnt make it but some of us just didnt have the money to do it. Its not like we all didnt want to.
