That’s
right. It’s Family Reunion time. A time for stuffing your face with more food than
Raaandy, Raaandy, Raaandy can hold. A
time for swimming until your redder than a 1st place red velvet
cupcake. A time for dancing until your
aunts start “rollin’ down the river”. A
time for bed sack. Let us begin.
We lost some on
the first day. It’s a tough crowd to
hang with.

Had time for a little shopping.
We had a late
birthday celebration while we were all together! And I actually got pictures of my Aunt Betty smiling
instead of talking! LOVE YOU MOM
BEA! :)
