Family Picnic

I come from a large family.
Or rather, extended family.
Not many people comprehend how large it is.
Let me give you a small sample.
My father is one of 8 siblings.
Now, each sibling is married
and has anywhere between 2-3 children.
There are 19 of us cousins.
From there,
a bunch of us are married with kids.
Let me see...
I think there's about 13 kids from there.

The reason I mention this?
Yesterday Ethan and I attended 
the Jamani Family Picnic.


I told Scott there was almost
200 people there.
His comment:
"There's no way you have 200 people in your family."
I said there was 200 people there.
There's more in the family!!!!


Basically, 
this was a gathering
of my grandfather's family.


This is a picture of my grandfather
(he's the tall one in the white suit)
with his cousins.
The picnic was the children of all these
cousins.

There was even a huge family tree
and a binder which had all the branches.


It was quite the day!
