Reunion Pictures...and words of wisdom

• Have a good time with family, but know your people limit.
• Play hard, but don't play to get even or hurt someone.
• Make sure the comments you want to keep to yourself stay in your head.
• Don't underage drink, talk about it loudly, as cops ride their bicycles by.
• Ride inside the boat, don't float on a floatie with no shoes on.
• Jump from a reasonable height off the train tressel, not one that will lead your aunt to yell, "You are a father of two!" (Like he didn't already know)
• Take a cooler down to the block party, but don't ask for a beer if you don't know the people who carried it.
• Go to the park during the day to swing, but don't think you are going to get a push, because that only happens at night.
• Ride in a car with the best story tellers, so you find out all about what really happened when your parent was young, not what "really" happened.
• When someone yells duck, move your head and hope they yelled duck early enough to get your head down.
• In a bar that has a pole with rocks stuck to it is not asking to be danced with, it is holding up the structure, so leave it alone.
• Cards, while drinking with your younger cousins isn't the best idea, because you are never the one that gets to drink.
• Going to a family reunion, even when you don't know people can be fun. You make it what it is. Plus we would never have the great memory of Sarah eating off a ladies plate, while she breast fed and Keith went to take a look at it if not.
• Love your family for they are who you are and have loved you from the before you were born.
• Make a t-shirt that everyone will where, because then you can be asked if there was a sale at the Goodwill.
