We took the good old Amtrak down to Quincy again Labor Day weekend to celebrate my grandma's 90th birthday. 
It was a huge gathering of "immediate" family- my dad's siblings, my cousins, and Madeline's second cousins. Counting New Baby Hay, there were 32 1/2 of us there. Madeline loved playing with the girls, especially cousin Bethany.
Great-Grandma arrived and was thrilled to see all of the kids. "That's what makes the world go round" she kept saying.
Yummy pork sandwiches, fresh fruits and veggies, and pies for dinner.
Cousins!
Here we stand and sing "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow" before dinner, our traditional family grace.
We then spent the evening sharing updates on our lives and our memories with Grandma. Laura and Hunter were the only ones absent- way out in Colorado. It was nice to spend the weekend with everyone!
