FHS Reunion

It has been 20 years since Wil and Elsie's dad graduated Freeport High School and he and his best friend of years, Michelle put together a wonderful 20 year class reunion! We had a brief layover at St. George Island for some surf and sunbathing and then it was on to Pepaw's house! Grandma Terry had been up in West Virginia with Granny and we had the pleasure of hanging with Hester's mom who had been visiting her girl for the weekend. Jake, Hester, Pepaw and the cousins watched the kids for us for the nighttime reunion events. We gathered for a family picnic at the sports complex. Mark Miller grilled up a bunch of hamburgers and hotdogs and everyone brought a dish. It was cool to meet all of Jason's classmates and I loved every one of them! They made me feel welcome. The kids had a good time with water balloons and we all enjoyed catching up. We had about 3 hours or so to go home, nap, shower and put on our best to make it up to Nick's on the Bayou for the big Mullet Toss! It was the most perfect evening down by the water with a good breeze, a few adult beverages, kareoke singing, and dead fish handling! Tossing a mullet is harder than you'd think! As classmates began to disperse, a couple of others arrived and we sat outside Nick's until the wee morning hours cutting up and finding out what interesting items were to be found in Tammy's purse! I loved meeting Bunny and Edwina and the whole gang! Of course, I always enjoy Michelle and Tony! It was a great date night for Jason and I too!
