So...yesterday the Iowa branch of the Criddle family packed up and went to visit the Illinois Criddles (AKA all of the rest except one person). It was a terrific day. Lots of people, lots of catching up, and lots of kids.
Roll call included:
-my 87 year old grandparents
-their four children (my dad being the oldest) and three spouses
-their nine grandchildren (me being the youngest) with six of the spouses (Lee and Scott were missing)
-and their fifteen great-grandchildren (one missing) all nine years old and younger (including 3 four year olds and 4 three year olds).
As you can imagine the day was full of small people running around and adults trying to watch them while also having conversations. Here is a sampling of the craziness:
Papa breaking the rules by playing in a well at a playground/splash pad.
A little volleyball (my team lost).
The girl cousins.
Sitting around after dinner.
These were our two July birthday girls: Elle turns two and Grandma turns 87 this week.

What is the missing great-grandchild? Like the family stats.
Katie looks a little two sheets if you ask me...
Maybe that's why I didn't put that picture on my blog?!
Kel stole my comment.
