let the wild rumpus begin!

all 41 of us, in the same place, at the same time. 4 generations of wickline (and some other last names). starting with grandma pat who just turned 82 and going to heidi who is not yet a year old.

i dont know if any room on the planet can handle that amount of crazy.

but it is happening.

this weekend!

thanks to brooke initiating the idea and facebook for allowing us all to message back and forth to find a date that worked and make a plan.

3 days of cousins and aunts and uncles and playing games (all sorts).

i dont know that i have ever been this excited to go home since i flew the coup (almost) 6 years ago.

im sure i will have stories and pictures to share upon returning. but here are some classic wickline family pictures to get you started:

grandma pat and grandpa buck circa 1948

 

our parents circa 1960

 

our generation circa 1988

the last time all the cousins were in the same place at the same time.

(emilee and alex didn't exist yet, let alone the 17 in the next generation)

think we can still all fit on a porch swing?

 

dont miss our cousin alf, he is sitting on brooke's lap.

christmas 2008

missing the cali cousins and any new additions since then.

cant wait to see everyone all at the same time! it has been way too long. im sure a good time will be had by all. i cant wait to laugh til i cry, cry til i laugh, tell old stories, and just enjoy the craziness that happens when a whole lot of people all sharing the same gene pool spend time together.
