Quirky Quinquennial Reunion

Just returned home from the Quirky Quinquennial reunion. Once every 5 years, the descendants of my paternal grandparents get together - usually around 100 people (I have 27 first cousins!) Lots of fun, hugs, photo sharing, memory sharing, and introductions. Best medicine in the world!

Sounds like fun and a little quirky! Nice picture!

Thank you! Maybe there are some good ideas for people planning a family reunion. They had a very large field for people with tents and RV's, plus nearby hotels. They had a covered pavilion with many picnic tables, and an outdoor kitchen. Porta-a-potties, an outdoor shower, and a giant roaster that could hold many chickens and a pig to roast. Really large propane grills. Wedding-style tents with tables and chairs, and a small stage and sound system for a DJ or where bands played. A large firepit for bonfires, and a swimming pond with paddle boats and a sand beach.
The most fun was the rope hanging down inside the outhouse with a sign that said, "Pull to flush". If someone pulls it, it blows an air horn that you can hear a half mile away, and everyone claps.
