Family Reunion / Weekend recap

I am exhausted. Physically and mentally drained from the weekend. I barely sat down all Saturday or Sunday and sleep was also lacking.
But we had fun and that's all that matters. Blogging was out of the question so I will have to check the prompt list for the challenge and see if I'm feeling up to catching up, and I still haven't finished MV's 5 month post lol
I've got some blogging to do!

So what was I doing? Well incase you didn't read the title I was at hubby's family reunion! His family is Italian and very large, were not just talking first cousins here this year was a small turnout at approximately 90-100 people.
There is a committee that plans it (hubby and I are on the committe) and we charge a cover fee for the weekend of $35 to cover food and misc costs such as kitchen help and servers, rental equipment etc. We also designed some family shirts and hats again this year and those were an additional $10 each. If there is any extra money it goes into an account for next years bill (this happens annually unless there is a wedding).

It was crazy hot outside this weekend, even with thundershowers Sunday briefly the humidity was intense. MV was very well behaved considering he was outside almost the whole time. the host usually doesn't let people into the house but Lyns and I were given special privileges because of the babies.

MV did a lot of socializing, everyone of course loved him ;) I was able to get some really great pictures of him with his grandpa and his big Nonna (great grandma). He had his own specially made onesie to wear it was too cute!

So our weekend went a bit like this:
Saturday registration (sign in and pay) at 10am, first round of Bocce at 11am, lunch at 12:30, more rounds of Bocce until dinner at 5:30pm, fireworks competition at 8:30pm.
Sunday sign in, coffee and snacks at 10am, wait for the rain to stop, bocce quarter finals at 11:30, lunch at 12:30, semi finals, finals and championship game all afternoon, dinner at 5:30, rewards at 6:30, socializing and goodbyes leaving by 8pm.

I played my best bocce ever, my partner and I were undefeated our first day with a 4-0 record, but were knocked out day two with a final record of 5-1 which earned us the most valuable player(s) award :). MV also won an award for being the youngest player which he accepted ever so cutely and then proceeded to put his certificate in his mouth lol

So today I did nothing, just entertained MV and slept as much as we could :) tomorrow will be back to reality with cleaning and grocery shopping etc. I have a ton of blogs to read and possibly write myself.

So on that note I should get some sleep! Here are a couple cute pictures from the weekend <3
