The week of June 16, 2014, my dad's family, the Andersons, got together exactly 20 years after our last one in Garden City, Kansas at my Great Grandma Esther's home! All in all it ended up being almost 40 adults and kids
converging on my parents' neighborhood. Folks came from Virginia, Florida, Kansas, California, Alaska, and New Zealand!
Tuesday evening was the official reunion dinner at 790 on the Gulf, a restaurant near the neighborhood - so we ALL walked there! It was a great scene with all of us in our reunion t-shirts and khakis.
After dinner, we walked out to the beach and took family photos.

As family photos were wrapping up, the clouds moved in and us Alaskans got to witness a rarity, an awesome thunderstorm.
As the thunderstorm dissipated, we all walked to Twirl for frozen yogurt. The poor small store was invaded by Andersons!
It was a great week getting to know my family as an adult. We all hope we do not wait another 20 years before getting together again!
