Graf Reunion

We had our second annual (kind of- we actually missed last year) Graf reunion at our cabin. We go just for the weekend and yes all 23 of us sleep in our little 1400 sq foot cabin. SHEESH! right?

Actually this year we were pretty Graf light. Greg and Andrea couldn't afford to do another cross country trip and at the last minute all of Lauralyn's kids got like puking sick!!! Yuck thanks for staying away! HEHE.

We did still manage to have lots of fun and lots of people there with two dogs. We spent one day totally inside reveling in the fact that we didn't have to have an agenda. And then one day mostly outside seeing the greatness of nature where he heard comments from Josh's "whimpy city kids" like, "this hike is so hard!" It was decided that we need to get those kids out more! We had a good time and don't think we drove each other too crazy. Although I am sure in coming years we will definitely need to work out other accommodations!

Here are just a few fun ones. I don't have all the pics yet from everyone.

BY THE WAY: THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN I DON'T DO SCRAPBOOK PAGES.....WAY TOO MANY PICTURES TO DOWNLOAD!
