Family Reunion

It was the first weekend in august, so it time to take the long, packed road trip down south where it is hot as the earth’s core itself. I wonder who I would get to see this time go around. Every year I found out that I had a new cousin, aunt or, uncle. I have no clue where these people come from they just pop up, but when they do its all love in the air. My family was huge like the Brady bunch times ten. It’s like the NBA All-Star game, because all these people come to one city flying from all over the county just for one weekend of events. This time we were heading to Louisiana.
On the way down there the trip is filed with memories of old times and laughter. You could say that we would have our own mini family gathering before the big slam. It was always Me, Gramps, Grammy. Moms, and Uncle Kyle that road together. We would always talk about what happen last year and the years before that with the family. It would just get us more ready to see what was in store for us this year and we couldn’t wait.
When we first arrived in town we were at the park. The park was like as heaven on earth. Fresh cut grass, nice pound, it was Grade A. I could smell the aroma of uncle jonnies hot smoked barbeque in the air waiting for me to get to it. The first person that comes to great us was aunt sue. Aunt Sue was the crazy as a role lizard. She was always loud and didn’t care what anybody said about her or feelings. She flew all the way from D.C and was ready to party. The first thing she said was “Heeyyy Kin Folk”, we all looked at each other and laughed and the all went to give her a big hug. The weekend was about to start of rite.
As I’m walking I can hear a little bang. Like a brick hitting a backboard. I knew what time it was now, it was time for a little family basketball with the boy cousins. This is what I’m talking about. This had to be my favorite part of the reunion rite hear other than granny’s delicious

    Every year, my family and I take a camping trip to somewhere different. Someplace new and exciting. Since I was living in Hessville at the time, Lake Holiday was a new place to us… Usually, we travel far distances to go camping but this was just a mere 45 minutes. A lot of my extended family lives in Roselawn or DeMotte so the place wasn’t unfamiliar to my family. It was a Wednesday when we started to pack up our things.…

    The day was sunny and bright as I entered the iron arch. Rocky River Ranch it read. Little did I know that after walking through that arch my life would never be the same again. I was only 12 years old and I thought I was simply going to another summer camp. Rocky River Ranch is a little slice of heaven in the middle of the hill country in Wimberley, TX. I have grown up here and made lifelong friends. Through this all-girls camp I’ve also learned independence and gained a deeper appreciation for friendship and sisterhood. As an only child, the feeling of camaraderie with others in a familial sense is not one that I felt. While I had fellow female cousins, I never had true sisters. Rocky River Ranch is a special place where I learned the importance…

    My Aunt Caprice owned a large house and a couple acres of land which my brother and I would roam anytime we visited. Every Christmas Eve my mother would drive us over to Aunt Caprice’s house to visit her family and other close family friends. My Uncle Roger would take me around the property and let me collect chicken eggs for him. This taught me the value of hard work and was a humbling experience for me in my youth. My cousins, Bryan and Brent were very close to my brother and I, we would often hang out in the backyard either jumping on the trampoline or playing video games with each other. Some of my favorite memories were spent at that house, especially on Christmas to see family or just to go over and watch Dallas Cowboys games with…

    I was nervous nonetheless; Palms sweaty, heart racing, and tear-filled eyes was how I met them. As soon as the sun set the band started playing and the people poured in. The whole neighborhood invited themselves and soon enough I was having trouble distinguishing between who was and wasn’t my family. Warmth filled the air with all the stories being told, all the long awaited laughs caressed our ears, and the love that poured out of everyone was enough to last a lifetime. My uncles if they weren’t embarrassing themselves from the lack of dancing skills they had, I could hear them singing their sorrows in tune with the mariachi band in the background. My Aunts filled me in with the town gossip of the last fourteen years, making sure not to leave any secrets out. Smiles painted across our faces, my cousins and I took to the dance floor, skipping around until our feet bore blisters and sweat drenched our clothes. My grandparents told me stories from when they were younger. They shared with me the story of how, despite disagreements from each other’s family, they fell in love and stayed together till this day. My grandfather recalled to me how he had tried numerous times to woo my grandmother with sunflowers just so she would let him walk her home. “She rejected the roses so I brought her the Sun.”, he…

    Looking at an article from legacy.decaturdaily.com, it is noted upon that family reunions are a great way for families to catch up and strengthen bonds with one another. When families are able to join together and connect more, every single person in that family builds upon their social health and is likely to feel happier as a person. The tradition of family reunions also combats the barrier of distances between many families, and eliminates a feeling of ‘never seeing’ more distant family. All in all, the concept of family gatherings as a tradition is definitely a considerable help to bringing families closer…

    In the essay "The Color of Family Ties" by Naomi Gerstel and Natalia Sarksian, the authors assert that traditional nuclear families are not the only ones capable of supportive relationships and strong family connections. In the other hand, minority families also discover that their families illustrate the most supportive relationships and strongest family ties. According to Gerstel and Sarksian, they states "Black and Latino/a, especially Puerto Rican families are more disorganized than White families, and that their families ties are weaker" (47). People usually believe Black and Latino/a are weaker and more disorganized than Whites. But the authors also point out "Minority individuals are more likely to live in extended family homes than Whites and in many ways more likely to help out their aging parents, grandparents, adult children, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, and other skin" (48). In my opinion, I agree with this statement and I believe untraditional families are more likely to live with extended family than Whites. In "An Indian Story" by Roger Jack, it talks about nontraditional families with supportive relationships and strong family ties, which is a good example to describe of minority.…

Nonetheless it was merry, still filled with so much “family” that I had never met and I still flinched at the words, “do you remember me?” that parted from unrecognized lips. There was Aunt Helen’s famous apple pie, and the six turkeys, and the dogs running around in the backyard.…
