Reunion Day - Part 2

 We had a delicious catered lunch brought in from a nearby town and it was excellent!  Plenty of leftovers of course!  Jim had brought in the movable picnic tables to put on his outside cement and between those and the garage, there was plenty of room to eat and visit!

We decided we better hit the garage sales before they all shut down - well, we missed most of them but the one by Patty's was still open and Gwyn fell in love with this puppy!!  What a cutie!

The guys spent a LOT of time in Jim's "Pouty House" which is air conditioned and I'm sure MANY games of pool were played!

Teri and I provided the snacks for the afternoon - by this time ALL the grand kids were hungry again - aren't they always?  I believe it was one of my girls that commented that the 3 sisters all had purple on - figures!  We think alike!

We were a little concerned that all of the grandkids weren't really mingling with those they didn't know so we decided to set up a bags (or as some of us call it - corn hole) tournament.  Jessi entered all of the names on her phone and it mixed them up into pairs - after a few tries of mixing, we felt the pairs were pretty fair so we had all the kids come up and told them who their partner was and the games began!

We ALL had fun watching them - Leonard did the brackets and each set played the games and moved up in their standings as the afternoon went on!

Jim has a golf cart so many of us used it that day!  Robby and Jill were all smiles as they took it for a spin!

And finally the winner was announced - Matias and Evan!!  Aleah and Jensen came in 2nd place!

We were thrilled to have Don and Nadine, along with cousin Brent and Eugenie and their 2 boys join us late afternoon - they are our only living aunt and uncle so it was really special to have them come and meet a lot of the grandkids that they had never met!

Dinner again was catered and it was wonderful!  We girls sure appreciated the fact that we didn't have to cook on this day - clean up was pretty easy and everyone loved the food!

One thing that was on our agenda was to recreate a picture of OUR kids that I believe was taken in 1995 at Patty and Leonard's old house - and it was easy to do since Josh owns the house now!  We had the kids sit in the same spot as before!!

Isn't it amazing how they've changed!  A fun picture to retake!!

All in all, it was an AWESOME day - so much visiting - pictures to look at - games to play - great food and drinks - just a wonderful day!!  And we were blessed with a gorgeous sunset that night!

Tired but happy, we headed back to our house for the night and I packed up as we left the following morning to head back home.  ONE AMAZING REUNION!
