Franklin Buchanan Family Reunion

The major event of our summer has come and gone.  Last week we hosted the Franklin Buchanan family reunion at our house.  Franklin is my Grandpa's father and so all of his siblings, their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were invited.  We spent months preparing for this event and we were blessed with so much help, many miracles, and countless answers to prayers!  By the time everyone started to show up on Friday night at 5:30 we were ready to party!  We ended up having around 180 people come...my mom's cousin traveled all of the way from Washington to be there!  And the oldest couple was my mom's Aunt Neva (92) and Uncle Vance (98)!  They were troopers!  We did a lot of activities including the "Knowly"wed game, watersides, a mechanical bull, doughboys, etc.  By Saturday at 5:00 we were pooped but it was all worth it!  Thanks to everyone who came and everyone who helped!  It was a huge success!  If you would like to join us for the next reunion (cause, come on, you are all practically family) it will be here from August 9-11!  Bring on another bash!
