For the last
seven days, my family and me have been staying in a cabin with my extended
family. The cabin was nestled on a lush
pine covered mountainside above Sundance Ski Resort in Utah. This little piece
of paradise is called Aspen Grove and every four years my entire family makes
the trek to Utah to spend the week together. Now that the week is over (which
was AWSOME BY THE WAY) here are seven questions I’ve been thinking about. See
if your family reunions leave you asking the same questionsJ
1. How can twenty-five people have
fourteen conversations at the same time in the same room and most of all, HOW
CAN ANYONE HEAR ANYTHING?
2. Why is it that you’re still not fond
of that distant relative that you weren’t fond of last family reunion?
3. Is it possible that your family is
less weird than you remember, or do you just fit in with their weirdness better
than before?
4. Why is it that every time you share the
bathroom with twenty-five other people, you find yourself in a sleep-deprived
stupor putting on someone else’s pants? True story by the wayJ
5. WHERE DID ALL THE CHILDREN COME FROM?
Seriously!
6. Why is it that the towel, you have
been using to bath is wet, before you go to take a shower and yet all the
children are running around freshly bathed, yeah, ewhh!
7. Why after one week of nonstop noisy,
sleepless, chaotic time together do you still feel a tightening in your throat
and tears welling in up in your eyes when you say goodbye? I guess that is just
family reunions!
