Family Reunion '08

Our family has a family reunion every year. It's usually in a different state every year but for the past four or five years, we've had them in Shreveport, LA because my great-grandmother cannot travel. I recently came back and I had a lot of fun! I was a bit tired when at first because I finished my summer classes the same day I left so I really didn't have a chance to rest but it was a good trip. We had a "meet and greet" the first day we arrived and the second day was fourth of July and a freed day so a majority of our family went to a place called the Boardwalk. It's an area with restaurants, shopping and retail stores, games, an alligator farm and an amazing view of the water and boats! I think I ate a bit too much on the Boardwalk but the food was very good! The next day we had a picnic and played volleyball, horseshoes, dominoes and different card games. The final day we were there, we went to church then to a restaurant and enjoyed some "Soul Food". The ride back was long, about ten hours, but I had a good time!
