mini family reunions

remember to check troy manning's link... i made a snafu and today and tomorrow's posts have gone up on the same day.  enjoy them both :)

when family comes into town it usually means a convergence of the all the local fam into a mini family reunion.... it usually lasts 3 days.
for p it meant playing with cousins she doesn't see very often.

she doesn't really get the concept of 'ready, set, go' and race

so she fakes it

and since she just loves to run she does a good job

endearing chalk art from another cousin - smile
then p ditched us to go get pizza with people who are apparently cooler that i am... grammy and two great aunts.

being completely comic clueless i did know this was spiderman but that was it

apparently i was under attack (pretend)
spiderman pretend time is why i became his favorite first cousin once removed.

still waiting for p we practiced jumping.

it is not unusual for our family reunions to involve weird fake teeth

can't forget the olympics were on

i promise you other people were there but they hid in the air conditioned houses with low lights and terrible picture conditions.

laughing wall talk after church

a visit to the house where it all began

i know my aunt is thinking: 'dang-it, i forgot my fake teeth'

the current owner of the house where it all began... who was nice enough to talk to us for a full 20 minutes

comparing battle scars

you knew a hissy fit would be in there somewhere
