Here is your warning. . .This is a family-interest level only post that is extremely long with tons of pictures and videos. I didn't want to leave anything out so family that wasn't able to join us could get a taste of the weekend.
My mom's side of the family got together to celebrate my Grandma G's 80th birthday over Labor Day weekend. And if I heard correctly, there were still 27 missing. My grandparents had 6 children and also raised 3 foster children making 9 kid in all. They have, right now, 27 grandkids and 27 great-grands. It's always fun to get together and never a dull moment. Unfortunately Alaina got a fever on Friday, so her and Mark weren't able to come. That's why you won't find them in any pics.

Thanks for sharing all the pictures and videos. Dad and I were busy a lot of the time so I got to enjoy it after the fact. Grandma and Grandpa will enjoy it also. Nana
Thanks for the pictures & videos! It was hard not to be there, but this helps! I'm glad to know that we were only 4 of 27 who didn't make it...but am amazed that the group was that huge with 27 missing! Love you guys!
