Anyhoodles. So I go up to Northern California every year for a big Swiss Picnic with my huge extended family for a grand ole time. This year I brought Matt up to meet the gang and man was it a great time. Here I have some pictures (of course) so check, check, check it out:
Matt was such a fabulous driver
my sister and cousin enjoyed their spots in the back
all the boys around the bonfire
seriously the kids just keep gettin cuter
the cousins that drink together, stay together, haha
brotherly looove
right back at ya Kourt
I just loooooove this bebe, he's so precious!
so attractive I know
candid shot by the sis, I love it
my family is full of great thinkers
and chicken dancers
I'm pretty stellar if I do say so myself
we've got some weird ones in the fam, haha
I'm all about the flower power
ta da! the family's even bigger than last time.
I believe there were 65 of us this year, woo!
And that my friends, is a weekend with my ginormous family. If you couldn't tell from the pictures, it was a great time.
Some key moments to note:
- Apparently birds on the road want to commit suicide. We had at least five birds dive bomb in front of our car on the road. Luckily Matt never hit any of them but man did they come close.
- We saw a car that had a bobble hand in the back window of their car. It was so weird. We also saw a guy shaving as he drove, very impressive.
- I am and will never be 21 again. My liver reminded me of this fact after I passed out at 11 on Saturday after too much wine. Tisk tisk.
- It also reminded me to watch where I walk when it's dark and I've been drinking. I definitely fell off some stairs, good job Katelin.
- I can't get enough of cute babies. No really there are so many cute kids in my family it just makes my heart say oooh and awwwww. I love it.
- My stomach has no limits on a weekend with the big fam. I ate more than I knew I could and man was it good and totally worth it. I'll go to the gym tomorrow, haha.
- There are some big people in my family, all of whom asked if Matt was a good guy and if he wasn't they'd change it, haha. Needless to say there was no questioning and the fam loved him.
Other than that it was just the weekend I hoped for, family time and lots of fun, woo!
and how was your weekend?
happy tuesday!

That's a lot of family! And here I thought our reunions were big capping at out 30. Looks like good times.
Wow thats a buttload of people!! I definitely don't think my family is big anymore!
I am officially jealous. Family time is great and soooo precious!
Family reunions are so fun (for the most part). It looks like you enjoyed yourselves and that's all that matters. Fun weekends are the absolute best.
Beer pong and the chicken dance?
I'm pretty sure that's putlawed in most states.
Ahhh! I love any family celebration that includes the beer pong! It definitely looks like you had the time of your life, your pictures are wonderful!

Wow, that is a ginormous family! How cool! It looks like you had a really great time and I'm glad that Matt has been officially family approved ;)
Family get togethers can be so much fun! Haven't had one in years (mainly because we live on different continents).

Your family size continues to make me want to repopulate the earth with Megas. With the quickness.
Holy crap your family is huge. Damn. Can't wait to read the Hills recap, we must discuss the hotness known as Doug. Salivates.
