brand family reunion

Every year Dan's dad and his six siblings, their mom (our grandma), and all of their kids and grandkids get together for a reunion. Each year a game is planned by one of the seven siblings. Whoever wins the game plans the reunion and game for the following year. It's really neat & always fun to get together with everyone. This year we had about 65 people come to Fort Wayne. There were two parts to the game: 1=who can build the most durable, pretty, and fast boat out of cardboard and duct tape. 2=who can come up with the most unique ice cream flavor and be judged for best taste. We had to snap a few photos throughout the weekend & wanted to share some with you...
