Imagine 2 pounds of bacon, 3 pounds of sausage, several pounds of ham, probably 60 pancakes or more, two bottles of syrup plus some homemade blackberry syrup, and 6 pots of coffee and you get an idea what breakfast was like.
After breakfast, someone started the firepit and we gravitated outside.
Cousins horsed around
and went on a tractor ride
while their dads/uncles tested out the potato gun.
Friends came later with leftovers from the Octoberfest party Friday night and that made lunch. (Even in the pouring rain, the Octoberfest party was a blast. We got soaked but who cared? We had a bonfire, plenty of good food, and lots of people to have fun with)
This afternoon we ate, talked, gathered eggs, cooked, played with the dogs and had a good day just hanging out at home. I was sad to see everyone leave, but tomorrow it's back to work and the usual daily routine.
How wonderful ! That very kind of thing is one of the big reasons I tried to start an IC. I have a tiny family and I tried to make it bigger :)
ReplyDeleteYou're very blessed to have them and they to have you.
Oh Man! I missed the potato gun!!! We had a great time, it was so nice to see everyone. I really enjoy your boys and their children.

Sounds like you all had a great time. The youngin's were makin' memories that will last a lifetime. I remember my family used to get together like this, and I treasure those memories. Now, we are all scattered to the winds, and never get together like this...victims of a changing world.
