Everett's First Family Reunion

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in San Antonio, TX with 300 of our closest relatives. :)

No reunion is complete, without lots and lots of food. In addition to the 'round the clock concession of pastries, popcorn, nachos and hotdogs...

"Grand Champion" barbecuer's (yes, family members), cooked up some delicious (so i've been told-since the 3 of us, are not meat eaters) brisket and barbecue'd chicken.

Sexy Servers!:

Bianca, Monica, Tammy, Kim, aunt Belinda, & Shannon

Reunion Awards:

"Oldest member". My grandfather's only living sibling, tia (aunt) Fina.

"Youngest family member", 3 months old.

"Horseshoe Champions", cousins Shannon & James

"Furthest traveler" (from California)

Lots of fun for everyone:

Passing of the Bell: Each reunion, the outgoing committee passes "The Bell" to the next hosting group/family. Next year, "G3G" (Garcia to the 3rd Generation) will host the reunion, again in San Antonio.

"The Bell" , since 1978.

Also while at the reunion:

Everett gets his very first skinned knee. :(

A wonderful time for everyone! Looking forward to the next one!!
