On April 1 we flew to North Carolina for a family reunion. The entire clan was there and a good time was had by all. It was nice, as the "patriarch," to see my wonderful children and grandchildren together and to note their accomplishments. Our kids are all college educated, married, and have children. They are all caring and loving. Each one married a person of great character and warmth.
The top photo is everyone but Carol, Emma, and me.
There is a game called "Angry Birds." The kids love it so much that Carol sewed together some birds. Then we made a slingshot in Andy's huge backyard to launch the birds. Emma is about to launch a bird in the second photo. Some flew clear over the fence into the neighbor's yard. We met Emma at a park to celebrate her birthday and launched a "bird" onto the roof of a shelter. Andy climbed up to rescue the bird.
The kids had fun at the beach, bottom photo showing Evan and Seth.
As Carol reminded us toward the end, it is difficult for us to all be together and always a true joy. I love my family and being with them.
