We were lucky to have our Ohana visiting from Northern Nevada at the beginning of Summer. We enjoyed having a good times backyard get together in our new place. Uncles, Aunties, Cousins, multi generations, local, and from afar... it was awesome.
JT got to play with cuzzos Kian and Mateo. Those rascals were up til 2am and then outside playing in the backyard from a 8am the next day til 8pm! They were tired and filthy by the end of the day but it was awesome to have these little boys so entertained just by the backyard. Never mind all the unripe honey tangerines and cherry tomatoes were used as bullets and that there was a game of ultimate dodgeball taking place with a volleyball, some foam balls, whiffle balls, foot ball, and tennis balls (ouch!)
Grownups chatted around the tables inside and out, played cribbage and talked story. It was like the old days, when I was little and kids would only come inside to see what they could grab as a snack. Where anyone older than you was your auntie or uncle. Where everyone remembers to throw away their own trash, Uncles give you quarters for your pocket, you eat what's there and then eat some more.
Being surrounded by our family we felt so blessed to be a part of something so amazing. It was great to have a house full of awesome people and all that love.
