Family Reunion July 4, 2010

As is now a tradition we hold a family reunion each year over the 4th of July. My sister comes down with a pack of nieces and nephews and we play and play and play. The story starts with a plan for Tammy to bring Claudia, Shayne, Landon and that's it. But.... when Tammy arrived at my niece's house there stood Aleyia with her packed suitcase. Basically, Aleyia had her own plans, and they were "I'm going". So. there were four! Even still a milder version of last year's events. Amanda is in school so she and her youngest Haley stayed behind and my cousin Paula's son had a baseball tournament the same weekend and well Del and Sondie said "uhhhh, I think we will pass". I think all the kids last year about did them in.

Here are some of the highlights....



The first day it rained, but hey who cares! It's hot. It's wet. Duh!

Shayne and Landon chillin' lookin' like they are wearing lipstick

Tammy and Mom havin' a moment. Mom lookin' like she is ready to make the big escape

Karaoke Night

Shanye looks like he would rather be about any where else

One of the many feasts

How many kids can one fit into a house?

Well, that all depends.

If every couch and chair in your house folds out....

LOTS!

Quads are always a highlight and now we have 4 of them...

Ready for the firework display!

and just plain ole' being silly!
