So... Amy has been bugging me to update the BLOG and since we just returned from a week long adventure in a NorCal cabin (of sorts) I thought I would share some pics and details with you.. Last Saturday July 18th, we loaded up the car (baby and mom included) and headed north for the 1st annual Guinon (mothers maiden name) family reunion. After picking up my kid sis in Sacramento(s) the freshmaker capital of CALI (inside joke thats actually not that comical), we ventured on to Lake Almanor and arrived at our 4 bedroom cabin (aka manufactured home). After settling in - we met up with the 32 other Guinon's and the reunion began. Present were my mothers 3 sisters, 3 brothers and their 20 children in which some of them have children. Sounds confusing - well it was. We actually had to study up on our cousins and 2nd cousins names during the 12 hour drive, which actually made the time go by quickly. At the 'head of the table' was my grandma and grandpa who were overjoyed at the site of their entire family in one place (hasn't occurred since Christmas ~ 1987). Long story short, my grandparents held their first great-grandson (they have 4 great grand daughters already), we played on the beach, talked, wake boarded, jet skied, water skied, drank, talked more, danced, and karate kicked through the week of fun. All and all it was great seeing all of the family and we look forward to next years REUNION de AWESOMENESS.
