Fambly Reunion

[viscousmemories]

As mentioned in my "Road Trip" thread, I just got back from a family reunion in Michigan. The reunion was interesting - comprised of a couple hundred cousins I had never met before and will probably never meet again.

For me, the best part was gathering with my siblings at my Mom's house the night before. It was the first time in ~15 years that all 10 of us (plus Mom) were together, and we've got the photographs to prove it happened.

I also got to see 32 of my 36 nieces and nephews, and one of my grand-nephews.

All in all it was a great week. Lots of food, games and fun. I don't think I'll wait almost two years to go back next time.

Comprising, not comprised of. :)

[viscousmemories]

Yeah thanks. :glare:

Oh yeah, I also picked up the two-volume Compact Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary from my sister, with magnifying glass and all. Maybe I oughta use it.

Well, I'm glad to hear the grammar n00b had a good time... ;)

Funneh what passes for 'compact,' eh?

I spent most of my time in the ball of the Michigan hand: Ann Arbor area.

Yeah no kidding, Chuck. :examine:

Dayum that's a big fambily! Glad you had a good time, welcome back!

[Ymir's blood]

You have eight siblings? I can not even imagine. :jawdrop:

[viscousmemories]

Nine! "All 10 of us" only refers to us kids. I have six sisters and three brothers.

[Ymir's blood]

:crowded:

Where do you place, age wise, in that?

I just have one older brother and no sisters.

[viscousmemories]

When they made me they broke the mold.

[Sock Puppet]

And who can blame them? :giggle:
