The long planned for family reunion finally began to come together a week ago Tuesday when we picked up the T-shirts 1+1=33 2/3 and the arrivals started with Kristi's family. Wednesday Micah and kids arrived. Thursday Heidi's family, Randy's family and Steven arrived. Friday finished off all the family when Paige arrived. Thankfully Lisa and David bought our old house so we had a place big enough for many of the meals and the actual reunion day activities on Saturday. Friday we had a lunch picnic at the park and pizza dinner at Lisa's before gathering for family photos. The photographer handled the large group really well so we are looking forward to great family photos. As my photos seem to rearrange themselves when I publish my posts, hopefully you will grasp who is who from the following descriptions: Two pictures from the lunch picnic are Paige with Peter and Roxie and Randy with Lily. From dinner we have Jake and Eliza with Randy, Benjamin, David and Lisa in the background. Then from the family picture session we have the spouses of our 5 married children, and Qatar holding Lily and Gunnar holding Martin. I missed many great shots. Then for the bribe to help all the grandchildren survive the photo shoot, we offered root beer floats which we had at Eric and Vanesse's where Lisa is lounging after a long hard day.
