Independence Weekend

.
The Jones Family
.
the tallest and shortest grandchildren - 6'2" and 2'6"
>.
All 16 grandchildren - if you look closely, Tipper, the dog, had to join in the photo op too.

Some of the cousins in the red wagon. This wagon became one of the 'rides' for the kids. The joy of living on a hill.
By the time the night was over - the boys didn't last long enough to even crawl in bed

As you grow up and move out on your own - you see your siblings less and less and then if you see more than one at a time - you feel grateful, so when all 5 get together - it's almost a miracle. My sister came up with her family to pick up their son from EFY, while my brother, came east to have their annual summer break - and they just happened to be here the same weekend - so I quickly organized a BBQ at my house and for the 1st time in almost 3 years - we were all together with all 16 grandchildren! We thought this was a great photo op. The kids did not, but at least we got a few with them and then just us siblings - no whole family shots - hopefully, we'll all see each other again for Thanksgiving and maybe we can get some more family photos.
