My Last Family Reunion
MY LAST FAMILY REUNION
Last year at my family reunion, we had an abundance of fun. We had a moon bounce for the kids. We also had a great variety of food. My family played many games. We enjoyed spending time together. Some of the things available for the children were moon bounces, a trampoline, bikes, and much more. The moon bounce was very large and it looked like an obstacle course. My cousins and I enjoyed jumping on the trampoline. It was just the right size for all of us. Some of my cousins rode bikes around the complex where the reunion was being held. The one thing that I loved most about our family reunion was the food. We had plenty of different types of food. When I ate I felt like I was at a soul food restaurant. Some of the food included: mac & cheese, deviled eggs, pork chops, ribs, hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken, fish, collard green, cole slaw, crab salad, baked beans, cakes, pies and fruit. Everything was delicious! My family members played several games. One game that we played was Hop scotch. Next we played jump rope. Then we played Taboo and Monopoly. We had a bike race and a water fight. Many of the grown ups played cards and danced. While at our family reunion we had lots of activities. We also enjoyed many old family moments. We were all happy. I have learned that no one has my family’s special recipes except for us. We have made this the most memorable family reunion

    Childhood memories of dinnertime hold a special place in my heart. What used to be a daily experience of family unity and sharing is unfortunately now reserved for holidays and an occasional Sunday or birthday gathering. Rather than each family member drifting into his or her own individual world as their life grew busier, we always had the interaction during mealtime to strengthen our family bonds and enrich the daily experience of community life. My mother would create a meal consisting of either a pasta, or meat and potato type meal for our family of six. Our evening meal always included a salad, plenty of vegetables, and a basic dessert like brownies, pie, or ice cream. There was never an official dinner time since my dad’s schedule varied. Therefore,…

    The food we consumed that Grandma and Aunt barb made was the best. From what I remember, they had made; turkey, homemade cranberry sauce, blueberry and lemon muffins, bread slices, ham, and coleslaw.

I had tried one of the bars she had baked and immediately, I knew that they were the best I had ever…

    Food is something we all enjoy. It contains the essentials to sustaining life such as nutrients, fat and protein. But in a culture where shared meals are not that common as they once were, food also can create everlasting memories and connections with the people we hold the dearest. Bonny Wolf wrote a short essay called, “ Food Traditions: The Thread That Links Generations”, in which she states that, “Food binds families together, keeps generations connected and creates community” (Wolf 136). I strongly agree with this statement because not only do I have a treasure trove of memories all linked to food and family but also because there is so much evidence that provides back up for this claim.…

    My cousins and I would always be together, Literally 24/7. Sometimes we would fight and i look back and remember and i think it's the funniest thing in the world, we still bring our little arguments up to this day to have a real good laugh, but having so many different personalities around made my life so much fun. If we weren't outside playing with the water hose getting in trouble with our great grandmother for wasting water or playing tag or Hide And Go Seek, We’d be inside watching cartoons while our Aunts were having extremely loud Conversations in the kitchen and the Men were outside talking about football or something. My favorite memory of my childhood was when i would get to go to my grandmother's house every Saturday with my close family around to eat either Barbacoa or homemade Menudo.…

    Spending good quality time with family is really enjoyable. The quality of the time spent is irreplaceable. We love playing scrabble with each other after our feast. Laughing and joking with each other because someone decides to make new words while playing. Monopoly is always fun too. I enjoy catching up and talking with loved ones that I haven’t seen in a while. Just sitting around and watching a new movie with the family or even simply to relax. I am so blessed to have such a great family.…

Nevertheless, by the matchless grace of God, our beautiful traditions replaced the horrible memory of the last time I saw her alive.

    Those were my favorite nights, only because most often we would go to Bens house, which was 2 stories and about 6,000 sq.ft. The adults would hang around in the living room, dinning room, or the kitchen as the masses of children, of all ages, ran around the house playing, screaming, and occasionally crying. I was among the older kids leading the group and watching over the younger ones.…

    The boat ride to Nassau, Bahamas was a unique experience. The rooms were small but we made it work for my family of four. There was a 24-hour ice cream bar that we went to every day! The ice cream was a cool treat when we felt overheated. My cousin came on the trip and that made it even more fun because we all get along so well and we have a great time together. We spent a lot of time at the pool and played plenty of games to keep us busy. The cruise was full of adventure and…
