My two funniest memories from the reunion

When we got to the farm G&K and C&A and their families weren't there yet, so it was pretty quiet. We were all standing in the kitchen/living room area talking. All of a sudden five lambs burst into the living room baaing and not looking like they were going to stop. It was like everyone except the lambs were frozen for about a half a second. Then Peter and Scott chased them out of the house and I about died laughing. And Elijah grinned (he had herded them in). I wish everyone could have been there. It was hilarious.

Sunday after dinner everyone had ice cream sandwiches made with waffles and slabs of ice cream. There was a little bit of ice cream left in one of the opened cartons so then everyone got ice cream cones (which of course required opening new cartons of ice cream). Then after the kids went to bed we had bowls of ice cream. Scott was dishing up the bowls so they were very full. He had just handed mom hers when I asked about her unending supply of ice cream, "Mom, how much ice cream do you HAVE?" Dad's immediate response was "She only got as much as everybody else, Andrea. Give her a break." It was so funny. I couldn't stop laughing. Maybe you had to be there. I love my family. Take the advantage of one because of his words.
(Dad did know what I was really asking, in case you were wondering--but in my family if you can twist someone's words you do. It's great. That's why it would take some one with a very strange sense of humor to want to marry one of us girls (Do any of you remember when Mom told us that?).)

More proof you all had fun without me. Sorry to have missed it.

The incidents played in my head like a movie and I laughed out loud.
