I remember the last reunion I went to when I was 15. My great aunt and aunt and uncle shared a large lot, bordering on forest. It was full of tables, kids and grills. We had an old fashioned clambake. I would hope it was potluck ;-)
All I remember is that some of us cousins were going to swipe Aunt Agnes' homemade wine, but another cousin snitched on us, hahahahaha!
That's a cute story. Ahh, the good ole days!
