The Williams family\u2019s 30th reunion has come and gone. My mother has 5 brothers and 3 sisters, so once you add in my cousins and their children, the family is pretty large. As Kyllan said, this year at the reunion we celebrated my grandmother\u2019s 90th birthday. I have added an overwhelming number of pictures from the weekend to my flickr <\/a>account. <\/p>\n

The reunion included such highlights as a never ending slide show that, despite never ending, contains none of the pictures you sent to be included and the infamous \u201cteens night out.\u201d (I feel comfortable making the slide show comment because the cousin that put the show together will never visit the blog, even if I sent him a sent a link in an e-mail that he would not return containing more pictures he would not look at. No. Even if another cousin visits the site and tells him about this comment, he still won\u2019t visit. No, not even after this comment.)\u2026A long, long, long time ago my older cousins were teenagers and while the adults had a meeting to discuss family business, they went out to a movie or bowling. I wasn\u2019t allowed to go, as I was too young. Flash forward to reunion #30 and the thirty something year old cousins now have their parents baby sit while we go out. (Last year we got to the point where a parent and child went because a baby sitter could not be found.) They refuse to refer to it as \u201ccousins night out,\u201d however. Things never turnout the way we plan. It\u2019s just one of the unique bonding experiences that come with the reunion. Previous nights have included being locked out of a bowling alley, mid-night freeze tag on a children\u2019s play ground, and simply spending the entire night in the lobby trying determine who was going and who was riding with who. This year we made it about a block before one of my cousins was involved in a car accident while driving his girlfriend\u2019s car. We ended up standing on the side of the road for a few hours while they sorted everything out. We never made it to the bowling alley. The 15 of us ended up eating at I-HOP before returning to the hotel and calling it a night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
