On Memorial Day, those of my family who live in the area plus my sister from Ohio gathered together at the home of one my brothers up Coopersburg, Pennsylvania way. We enjoyed more food than we could eat, had a great time socializing & catching up with each other, and playing games. And some enjoyed a soaking water fight. It probably felt good with the hot weather in the mid or upper eighties and the high humidity we've been having.

Some guinea chicks one of my nephews are raising
A cute goat midst a herd of goats
Some of my nephews and others Note how wet my nephew in the gray shirt and black shorts is.
looks like you all had a great time, such fun pictures!
you know, i saw the picture of the goat and it immediately made my mouth water cos they're a delicacy back home (i hope that none of them are pets, i have stunned many an american my telling them i enjoy goat meat!)
Youpi ! It's wonderful,so many beautiful pictures... But, it's too much job for only one message. You may publish only one or two pictures per post, so I'ld be abble to comment each of them. How to speak about these cute goat, chicks and kids...
Thanks, tai. It is fun to be part of an extended family that enjoys each other whether small or large.
Hi, spicebear. It was a great time. And I have no problem with you watering for your goat delicacy. I grew up on a farm where we ate some of the animals we kept whether as a hobby or in my dad's case for his living.
Thanks, lucie marguerite. Always feel free to limit your comments to one or two pictures when I have more. I include more pictures many times to express a fuller picture.
Hi, christina. Not quite all of us lived closed enough to be at this gathering this time. I have a brother who lives in Michigan and a brother and his wife who lives in Maryland who weren't there. But we are blessed that so many of us live so close together. As for water fights, I think most kids and kids at heart enjoy them especially in hot, sticky weather.
Hi, samurina. Thanks for your blessing on me and my family. Glad you enjoyed the pics.
Hi, minka. You are right. I am blessed.
Thanks, fred. I think life was meant to be spent enjoying time with other people.
Hi, ava. I'm glad my post evoked a happy feeling within you. Glad you liked the pictures.
Thanks, san nakji. And, yes, my family is big and I love that. I have six brothers and one niece. And when you begin to count the wives who married in and my nephews and nieces, it quickly adds up.
Thanks, andrea. Hope your holiday weekend was great, too.
Thanks, paige. And I'm glad I have been found again!
Hi, kristi. They are neat kids. And it is neat when families can get together.
What fun! My family get togethers are never like that... I want everyone at one big table like y'all do it! Guess I'll have to host the next get together to make it happen!
My main blog: Ramblings generally focuses on telling a story via photography and words. These stories generally center around family, nature, and church although sometimes just about life in general. I also have a blog entitled Fingerprints. I post less frequently in Fingerprints. It serves as a catch all of anything that does not go in my Ramblings blog including memes, quizzes, and reports on books and movies.
The road awaits
Time doesn't
The road beckons
Time steps forward
Will we move
In step with time?
Will we step forward
Shaping our time?
Will we take time
To see the present?
Will we explore the past
And understand our heritage?
Will we laugh?
Will we wonder?
Will we touch?
Will we feel?
Time flies on
We have choices
Shall we go fast?
Shall we go slow?
We shall go forward
But we will choose the pace
We may dance with all our heart
Or bathe ourselves in a setting sun

Any photo of animals, I just love! I can't get over how big your family seems!
How fun! I love big families. Glad you had a great holiday weekend!

What a lovely family. I had lost your link for a while there. But now you have been found!
What cute kids! Looks like a fun time. Our family gets together and does something similar every July 4 up in Ohio.

Hi, pixie. Our family finds it to be fun. It's certainly worth a try especially when you're willing to host the gathering.
Hi, ocean. It was a great day. And goats are often funny creatures. :)
What a great family time, Tim. I love these family memories for you.
Thanks, ginnie. Family memories are precious.
Hi, drive by fruiting. Glad you enjoyed your venture here.
