Grandpa's Family Reunion

My grandpa and his 4 siblings (3 sisters and 1 brother) get together once per year to spend a weekend together. Each year they meet at a different siblings home and as much of each siblings posterity as possible try to attend. This year it was here in California. We started out the weekend at the beach Here's Aunt N (Grandpa's sister), My Mom, Aunt L (My dad's bros wife), Grandpa, Aunt B (Grandpa's sister), and Aunt J (Grandpa's brother's wife) Enjoying the beach.

The next day was a BBQ at our house. My cousin T brought her adorable little A who is so precious we can hardly stand it.

Grandpa and his siblings: Aunt B (3rd oldest), Grandpa(4th oldest), Aunt V(2nd oldest), Uncle H (the baby), and Aunt N. (oldest).

Anyone who knows our family can guess there was lots of story telling and lots of laughter.

The next generation had to get in on the action too, J had to tell a story of how much her grandma loved her right after my Dad and Uncle J told a story about their grandma coming after them with a broom because they wouldn't be quiet and go to sleep. LOL. Aunt B, Aunt N, C (J's granddaughter, V's Great granddaughter), J, uncle K (Adopted), Aunt D (adopted).

After good food, a few one liners, and lots of laughing everyone headed for home. It was great to get to hear stories about my great grandparents and get to know my grandpa's family better.
