2011 OBX Family Reunion

17 adults, 15 children, 7 cars, 42 rolls of toilet paper, 7 pre-cooked dinners (for 32), pack n'plays, bathing suits, sunscreen, snacks...you get the idea. We throughly enjoyed our family reunion consisting of my parents (Fayetteville), my mom's sister (England), my mom's brother and sister-in-law (Wales), my cousin along with her husband and three children (Wales), my sister and her husband and 3 children (Fuquay), my brother and his pregnant wife and his 3 children (Florida), my brother and his wife and two boys (Hawaii), our good friends who are basically family (England) and us. It was some serious logistical planning as we needed to get people from airports, rent at least one car, get some people back to the airport (but not the entirely same group who came on planes), get some people back from the beach who came with parents but left without parents...you get that idea too. But we had lots of fun times and good memories. The children ranged in age from 13 down to 4 months, with a concentration in the 4-9 year old range! I have 142 pictures, so I'm only including 1 or 2. The rest are on Facebook, if you're interested!

We put on a play about the book of Esther--written by Lydia and me. Here's the audience.
