Sounds like a great time!! My husband's family has a Family Picnic on the Saturday after the 4th of July each year filled with family, food, fun, and tradition. They are a very close group and it's great to see the younger generation getting in on the act as well.

My extended family gets together on Christmas Eve but over the years, the numbers have dwindled as we've all gotten married and many have moved away.

It's nice that you have a place big enough to accommodate everyone and that with it being a holiday weekend, many have an extra day for travel, etc.

That is so cool! Of course growing up in the midwest, just hearing about a get-together on a beach sounds magical in itself! But to have that many families, even just once a year, converge to celebrate that last Sunday in May is a great tradition, one that sounds as if it will live on!

I'm a little jealous, too! Sounds like a great time. Then again, I can't imagine what they would be like if Steve's grandmother's generation had started one--she was one of 14 children, I believe (talk about doubling up--after her mother died, her father married the late mother's sister, with whom he had most of the siblings).
