Friday: Left earlyish with Matt, his dad and brother Brad on a flight to Oakland so we could make it to Matt's family reunion in Guerneville, oh yes Guerneville. Once all of us were together in the airport (we had to wait for Matt's brother Ryan) we rented a car and were on our way. Eventully we made it up to the cabin and I got to meet 140 of Matt's family members, haha. I knew it was going to be a good weekend when I saw this in the garage:
oh what a lot of alcohol.
Basically this place was awesome. Matt's great grandfather built a lodge where the family can get together and just have a great time.
so many trees around, it was gorgeous.
Matt, his dad, Brad and Ryan all hanging out.
Friday night we stayed up late, had some drinks, had some Mexican food and I got to meet a lot of family. Saturday was when it all happened.
Saturday: Slept in quite a bit which was nice. Then basically hung around the house, went to town (oh what a town it is), ate more food than I should of and got to know a lot of family. Oh and then some pictures were taken and the crazy night began.
Brad and his cousin kayaking by the house.
Matt doing a reading at mass.
the priest forgot his book so he used an iphone instead, love it.
Our small part of the huge family!
Brad, Ryan, Matt, me, Aunt Toni and Matt's dad.
woo Team Burgundy!
I couldn't stop taking pictures of all the trees.
obviously, haha.
me, Matt and Brad having a grand ole time.
Matt and his cousin Catherine hanging out.
oh man we were dancing all night.
thank you live band and lots of alcohol!
Charlie getting down to the music, haha.
Despite his back killing him,
Matt had to show everyone how to do
a proper keg stand, haha.
Sunday: Slept in again (twas nice), got up to help Matt make breakfast for everyone. Then basically lounged around, watched some football, cleaned up a bit and said some goodbyes. And before I knew it (2 hours in a car, 4 hours in airports and planes) we were home again. Luckily I got to enjoy some quiet time with Matt at home and even watch the Emmy's (oh yes that's tomorrow's post).
So how was your weekend?
happy monday!

I had a lovely weekend as BF came to visit me! :)
Looks like you had an awesome time!
Marrying into a crazy family...you will never regret it. A family that can laugh at and with each other is a blessing!
The location looks beautiful!
That looks like SO much fun!
Yay for marrying into an awesome family :)
What a family reunion! You weren't joking when you told me there'd be a ton of people.
My favorite part of this entire post was the picture of the priest using his iPhone. God doesn't judge technology, haha!
Happy Monday? Though that kinda seems like an oxymoron.
That reunion sounds like so much fun! There would NEVER be keg stands at a reunion for Dave's family... maybe mine though HAHA
That must be so excited to know you going to be joining all the fun that is Matt's family :)
wow. what a buttload of alcoholic beverages.
i like a family party where keg stands are included.
Holy shit that's a lot of liquor. Time to PARTY! Glad you had a good weekend :)
