Has been a busy weekend, full of family stuff, and while it does get a little overwhelming and old sometimes, I wouldn't have it any other way and feel very fortunate to be part of such a tight bunch.
Saturday, was an aunts 60th birthday party. She's the last of 13 kids my grandma had to turn 60. So we had a big surprise party for her, and somehow it managed to be kept a surprised. Either that or she did a real good acting job when she got to her house and saw a bunch of people waiting for her.
Probably had over 150 people there, and was limited parking so we ran a little valet service. Took the cars and parked them at a school around the block and had a car to take us back to the party. Worked out pretty good, luckily didn't come across any stick shifts.
Had a big cornhole tournament, my team was eliminated in the first round.
Also a DVD was made, about the family, each of the original kids was recording doing something they are known for and asked what they like best about being a Woody, and all the other generations were asked too. I know it sounds really corny but ended up being a really good video. Made me think it could be extended into a full length documentary, of course we might be the only ones who liked it.
And Sunday, about 20 of us cousins went to Kings Island. Was a fun time. The weather was perfect, not to hot, and wasn't very crowded so the lines weren't bad. Rode a few coasters but one shook my head around so much, gave me a headache so I kind of slowed down after that.
My favorite is the log ride, got kicked off of it once, a long time ago for standing up and switching places during the ride. Even though it wasn't very hot yesterday, still had to go on it but didn't feel like it was such a good idea afterwards when i got chilly.
Today, we had everyone over for breakfast and then I went with a few to Carriage Hill Farm, which is a public park. Used to go there all the time when I was little, hadn't been for awhile. And getting ready to go soon to another aunts house for dinner.
Another thing about being in this family, there is to much eating!!!!
