That night at 7pm everyone went to the Morrow's camp house (their actual house now) where we used to get together to do Homecoming floats. We had BBQ and fixins (provided by Jake's company) and Long's cole slaw. The food was great, but there was a lot left over. We sent people home with to-go plates plus left a bunch for our parents to enjoy. There was a bigger turnout for the night event and it was really fun and relaxed...exactly what I wanted! We almost had this part of the reunion at a restaurant, but it ended up being cheaper per person to have it at a house. Plus, you could move around more and talk to everyone instead of just the people you sat next to.
It was so good to see everyone...didn't feel like it had been 10 years at all! After we ate we all gathered inside to watch the memory video we made our senior year. That was funny!
I was SO TIRED after this weekend (b/c we also gave my cousin a wedding shower the next day...at the Quitman Depot where the air conditioner was broken). It was a LOT of running around since we were responsible for so much of the reunion. We ended up losing about $150 since not everyone who said they were coming actually came, but that's okay...we expected to lose some anyway. I'm just glad it was a fun time and no one seemed to feel out of place or awkward. Makes me wish we could have another one in just five years...if somebody else plans it!
