There are pictures of my family. I took the pictures last summer. We don't live together. We live in different cities, different States, and two countries. But we often talk to each other on the phone or send email. Every summer all the relatives come together for a week This is our family reunion, and it's so much fun. There two branches in our family- one branch from Mexico and one are fiom the United States. People come to the reunion from California, Arizona, New York, and Florida. Other people come from Mexico City and Puerto vallarta. We alternate the reunion place one year in Mexico and the next year in Arizona. My great-grandparents lived in Puerto Vallarta, and my grandparents now live in Arizona.
At the reunion, we have a picnic one day. We play baseball, swim, and eat a lot. We play volleyball, too. The women and girls are on one team, and the men and boys are on the other. One day some of us go shopping. One night we always have a big barbecue. We sit around a fire, tell stories, and eat a lot. Some of my aunts and uncles sing and play music. On the last night, we have a dinner dance at a nice hotel. We listen to music, dance, and eat a lot. Our family really likes to eat. We don't only eat. We visit with each other all week. We talk about problems. We plan weddings and cry about divorces. Sometimes we argue. All bring new babies, new wives, and husbands, and new girl fiends and boyfriends. It is good to have a big family. But at the end of the week, I'm always very tired l I'm happy to be alone.
