Had a really big day Friday, Saturday and again today, so I'm too burned out to post any pix or details for now, but just know that between all of us I will have dozens and dozens of pictures and videos to process and will post up several tomorrow or Tuesday.  ;)

27-2=25+2=27!!!
Sadly BiancaBlossom (https://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?action=profile;u=20) and her youngest were unable to make the trek from Texas to our RedTop FarmHouse and that dropped us to 25 visitors, but then Brother Russell and his Wife Letty were able to include us in their loop from the beach to their home near Spartanburg and that brought us back up to a total of 27 visitors!
We be happy now!  :banana:

Between all the cameras/phones for our gathering I have a couple hundreds of photo's that I'm editing and labeling now and will post up a couple dozen of them to the Gallery and then include several in this topic at some point. The visit with so many of our Kids, Grand-Kids and Great-Grands was wonderful, but my enegry levels have been a bit low this week as I recover, so it will take me a few days to put everything together.

OK. sorry for the delay! I'm finally up for posting some of the many photo's from our families weekend together.

Here's Curtis with the RdHtHemi, we were supposed to have a full photo shoot with him, James III and me, but sadly there was a camera malfunction.

BTW... it is so difficult to get folks to see the value in the idea of taking 20+ shots to make sure you end up with 2 or 3 good ones. Not really complaining, just saying.  :hah!:

Next we have Bianca's B-Day Cake!
... as mentioned before G-Daughter Bianca and her youngest were unable to make the trip, but her cake was already in the works, so we sang Happy B-Day for her and shared the cake together.

And, here's Bianca's mom Tyra taking the first bite of the B-Day Cake!  :heart:

This next series of photo's were taken at the Divine Llama Vineyards (https://www.divinellamavineyards.com/) which is only a few miles from where we live. We all had a great time at the vineyards store where we picked up some of their nice wine and had lunch from the El Taco Vaquero taco truck.
After our lunch we were driven down to the Llama pastures by G-Daughter Taylor. She works as a sommelier in the wine store.

First up; Austin gets his closeup with one of the Llamas.
... I was careful to never get very close because I kept waiting to see one of them spit on one of us!  laughing7
