Fun week with Nana! – Barrett Family Reunion

Each summer my grandfather’s family (my Mom’s father) spends a week together! We have been doing this since my mom was a little girl, each summer and winter they would spend one week back at the home (my grandfather) grew up in. Once my great grandparents died the 6 siblings began just meeting in the summer and they rotated around to different siblings houses. This year everyone came to Maryland so we spent the week at my mom’s aka Nana’s house. Elisha loved all the extra people and he was go go go the entire time. During this week we went to the boardwalk for walks, we went out on an oyster boat through the Calvert Marine Museum and walked through the Museum. Then we had soft shell crabs (which was a first for both Andrew and I, even though we both grew up in Calvert County on the bay) and played any games of Rook and Settlers. We also went to Sight and Sound to see Joseph; Julie kept Elisha that day and he got to play at the playground! All in all it was a great week and total there were 38 family members who came at different points in the week. This is a tradition that I love and I am so glad that my family loves each other enough to spend a week together each year even though we are spread out over 6 states.
