On Saturday we met up with my family at the LA Arboretum. I took the kids there years ago when Mindy was a baby. It is pretty big so we didn't get to see it all but it was fun walking around and looking at exotic flowers and plants and trees from different countries.
If you are old like me you might recognize this building. "Da Plane, Da Plane." This building was filmed in the opening scene of "Fantasy Island."

It seems like whenever the family gets together we always gather in the kitchen so a few years ago we started taking a picture of it. Our numbers are dwindling with everyone growing up and moving away but this is still a lot of bodies in one kitchen. 
On Christmas morning everyone gathers on mom and dad's bed waiting for everyone to wake up.
Then we do the annual line up for the picture. This used to be smallest to biggest but this year we had to do it by height..... with a few additions..... David and Tanner
