Rodeback Family Reunion 2010

my sister sums up the reunion best... "we ate together, played together, and puked together"

This years reunion was very fun and FULL of excitement! It started off with everyone starting to get what seemed to be the flu, and it is now ending its rounds with the last of the remaining family (thats about 60-70 people!) besides the pukes, we had a lot of fun! we went to the pool,went to the park, played volleyball and had a wii tournament at the church, ... loads of fun! i dont have the best of pictures so i'm using ones other people took. thanks!! we just got a new addition to the fam that is a wonderful photographer. my uncle shawns wife...shawn!

About 60ish people made it to the reunion out of about 80.

All of the kids except my Aunt Elaine. (hope Uncle Terry is getting better!)

With the spouses

Greatest grandparents EVER (and my vasquez gparents are too: )

MY FAMILY

just grandkids (almost all of them.....38 in total)

we look like we're praying....but its a game where you hold hands, with your eyes closed and silent. the person at the front waits for my gma to flip a coin. heads means you can squeeze the persons hand, and then the squeeze is sent down the row. the last person has to grab for a rag on a chair. whoever is fastest wins and moves up a chair. first to get rotated all the way back the beginning person wins! it was WAY FUN!

and this was pretty much the ending of ours reunion. lets me explain.... when i was younger, and around Christmas, all the family would get together at my grandparents house. we would open gifts in the little family room, (with my huge family it was pretty crowded). after gifts, my grandpa would grab a huge bag of peanut m&ms and chuck them at us so we could catch them in our hands or in cups. over the years most of the family hasn't been able to make it to longview for the holiday, so during the reunion we brought it back. i dont remember if we did it last year, but i know from now on we will be doing it every year. its painful, but so much fun to see everyone dash for m&ms and i think my grandparents love to hits us with them! lol. my family is a little different then most but i love them! see ya next year!
