Family Reunion

We headed out to the Family Reunion on June 27, after the 6 hour drive we ended up in Beaumont at the Holiday Inn Express. They were experiencing a swallow invasion, they were fun to watch diving around the hotel but what a mess. The family reunion was held at Barbara's. They have a great new pool and outdoor living space that was the envy of the family. It sure made a difference to have all the kids busy I don't think there was an fight all day and no whining about being bored. Of course, the kids had absolutely no contact with their adult relatives and only appeared briefly to get some food. We had a total of 36 people at the reunion which is not the highest turnout but it was a nice number. (Thanks to Barbara for all her hardwork) On Sunday, Pam and Jim hosted a breakfast and the kids played Wii (there were a few minor scrimmages over the remotes). Pam and her son Henry produced a great DVD of family pictures (Thanks! Pam and Henry) Henry now knows the names of all the Alvarado family members. We had a really great time and despite the cost of gas I am so glad we went.
