Venezuela BBQ

About 14.5 years ago we left Venezuela to move to the US. This was a bitter sweet move as its always hard to make new friends and leave old one. However, thanks to facebook.com we have been able to reconnect with some of our friends from Venezuela, who now live here. Because Tomi was in town we thought this was a perfect time to finally get together. We had a great time with the Larsen twins and their families and some of the Streeter Girls and their families. It felt like we were with family. Between all of us we had 16 kids, who play fabulously together. The kids have made new friends and that was fun to watch. It really was such a treat for all of us to get together. I am sure we will do this again soon.

Marcos and Maria, Tracie and Dane, Jaime and Dean, Benjamin and Kylie, Chris and Monica, Esteban and Amy, Tomi and Mom, Dave and I, Stephanie, Tomi, Me and Monica



With our spouses and some of our kids in the background.

Gabi, Issac, Gabe, Leah and Mason. They were playing "SuperHero". Not sure what that means but it was funny.

That really does sound like a lot of fun!! It was just such a bad weekend for us, we had so many things going on. I hope we all do it again, and we can go next time!!!

It seems to be the time for reunions. It is always fun and a bit crazt to sit back and something like that and remember how things used to be and how things could have turned out different.
It looks like you threw a great party! What fun.

What a special experience. I love how small this world actually is. I am happy that you were able to reconnect with old friends.
