Well we have made a tradition in the family, two years in a row makes a tradition right? We had a Texan Grindstaffs family reunion, (the tradition is that we have people over to OUR house over Labor Day). We had 28 people in our house at one time. We had Chelle, Shawn, Jonathon, Timothy, BreeAwnnah, Alanna, Amymarie, Ashley, Heidi, Tavian, Scott, Maggie, Patrick, Ella, Amy, Aaron, Tess, Ivy, Mom, Dad, Isaac, Aaron, Anita and the five of us. Samantha has met everyone in the immediate family now. Meeting Amys Aaron and Scotts family for the first time this weekend.
Sadly we were missing Matthew and Kara and their kids. The boys were seriously outnumbered. We were also missed Sandra, she had to work, so she couldn't come. We had good old Texas BBQ, with a Kansas City flair, (thanks to Scott). We did have the addition of Scotts family since they moved to Texas. They also live less than two hours from us.
Today we were able to get seven ceiling fans in, Shawn and Chelle helped us with 4 and then Sam did 3. Our house is more comfortable now. It would have been better to have them in before everyone came but we needed Shawns Expertise. We were able to get in very good conversations and even a few games.
However with all of the commotion, we did not take any pictures, not a one. Maggie did though and soon you can see on their blog the fun we had. Thank you everyone for coming. We had a lot of fun and hope everyone else did too.

Sounds fun. It does get a little hectic with too many there, but so fun too. Good for you and good for your ceiling fans! Yeah! I hope the weather holds off for all you Texans.
Yeah, I was busy making sure everyone had enough chips and water for Gustav's visit.
(that's what I scanned the most of over the weekend)
