Full House Prep

With the exception of our daughter-in-law and one grandson we will have our three children, their spouses, and the other 8 grand kids here for a week beginning next Friday.        We were missing just a son-in-law in this picture from 2009

This will be how we will celebrate our 50^th wedding anniversary (a month or so early).  It will also be the 5^th “family reunion” we have hosted.  Our first was in 2000 in Door County WI.  Those in 2003, 2007, and 2009 have all been held here at our home.   Of course, dear wife, begins to plan and prepare a month in advance; the refrigerators are stocked, the upstairs freshly cleaned and the yard is looking very nice.  

 

This is always a hectic-but-fun week for us and we look forward to the traditional activities of swimming, museum trolling, geocashing, Chuck E Cheese visit, and the most traditional…. the making of dozens and dozens of Pirogues to support the Polish Pride Parts in the Preponderance of the People.

With the youngest now 8, and the eldest two 16, we have quite a range of ages to consider.
