We are family

The Gannon family reunion has come and gone so fast it's hard to remember everything we packed into one short week but it sure was a lot of fun. The week kicked off with Matt and Jack Danzig jumping into bed with Madison to say hello. They were our guests for the week and Madison loved having the "big boys" around.
On Sunday we celebrated a family mass in Danville then dropped the kids with babysitters and headed to Napa for an amazing evening. This was the "fun" bus... no explanation needed.
We enjoyed a 5 course dinner at Far Niente and we sat down to a setting with 5 wine glasses.. so you can guess how the night ended...
A good time was had by all... it did make for a rough Monday morning if you were going to work or if you had to take care of kids.. yikes!!
We were psyched to have Chris stay with us also... for a college kid he did awesome staying in a house with four kids and early mornings. Jack became his buddy...
We also found a new use for the blue raft in Danville.... no reunion would be complete without TONS of Bud Lights by the pool!!Even Jack wanted to get in on the action.... third generation in training!!

There were 9 kids under the age of 7 so it was a little hectic... but they had so much fun palying in the pool and in the tent in the backyard in Danville.
We ended the week with "Cousins Night Out" which consisted of sushi and bowling... a deadly combo!!
It was so awesome to have everyone here and for a group that lives 3000 miles apart and only gets together once every year or two.. we sure can make some memories. One thing for sure there will always be a "surprise face" picture and tons of Bud Lights.
The night ended with a long walk home through the Presidio and Fisher gymnastics on Arguello Street!! AWESOME.
