Griffin Family Reunion

This was our 17th year of doing a family reunion. The first one we did was the year before I got married and here we are all these years later. It has been something we look forward to every year. We all take a turn planning it and so we are always doing different things. Me and my sister tried one night to think of all the things we have done so far. Camping, 2 cruises, Lake Tahoe, Lake Powell, camping on the beach in california, St. George, 2 weddings we had instead of a trip, cherry hill.....We have had some great times as a family. When we started there was mom and dad, 6 daughters, and 2 brother in laws. Now there is mom and dad, 6 daughters, 6 brother in laws and 17 grandchildren. It can be tricky trying to find something to accommodate all of us and that we will all enjoy, but mostly it is just about being all together. I hope this is a tradition that will carry on, and I will do it with my kids, their spouses and my grandkids someday.
This year we headed to california. Sadly not everyone could be there this year. We did a day of swimming at the pool and then headed to the beach for camping and playing on the beach. It was beautiful weather and a lot of fun.
recognize this place???? who lives in a pineapple under the sea? ;)
