Other side of the family

We had a great time at Thanksgiving visiting the Burdick clan. Out to Saskatchewan we all went and fifteen grandbabies all met and played. Amazingly this went VERY WELL considering these kids didn't know each other and were ranging in age from 12 to only months old. All of my siblings showed up even if it was only for a short while. The middle generation played lots of games like the "Bean game", "90's Trivial Pursuit" "Texas Hold'em" and some take over the world game like "Risk" that I can't remember the name of. Erica commented on the subdued nature of the Burdick clan as compared to the fast paced Buhler Clan. Both are great just different. Jean took us on a tour of her "Curves" shop. Very impressive! Dawn , Art and I did our best to "save the planet" on Sunday. (Only Value Village people understand this). Auntie Eleanor's home made jean skirts were a big hit. I'm sure the Don Burdick work crew spent a few days cleaning up the mess we all made as it rained and kept all 40 of us indoors most of the weekend. It was wonderful to all be TOGETHER!!
