The last weekend in April, a big group of people got together in Midland for a family reunion. Everyone there was related in some form or fashion to Freda and Cecil Evans, James’ grandparents. It was a lot of fun. We got to see a bunch of people we hadn’t seen in a while.
The first activity was Saturday lunch at Tampico Spanish Inn, a favorite Mexican food restaurant in Midland. While there, we were able to get a group photo. It pays to have a tripod in your camera bag like I do.

After visiting at Granny and Pawpaw’s house, we went to the hotel that a lot of people were staying at to watch the kids go swimming in the indoor pool while the adults chatted.

After dinner with James’ parents, Tami (James’ sister), Randy (Tami’s boyfriend), and Dawson (our 8-year-old nephew) at the Cracker Barrel, we went back for more visiting at Granny and Pawpaw’s house and some genealogical research for me.

Sunday entailed more visiting, watching the “kids” play in the yard, and a fried/grilled chicken dinner from KFC.
