Many families in New England celebrate the (psychological) end of summer with a clam boil, and both sides of Derek's family partake in this tradition. Grandpa D. wanted to host all of his siblings this year, so Denny, Derek and Doug all pitched in to make it happen. They worked all day long to put together this amazing spread!
In other news, the kids got back-to-school haircuts. Miranda was booked, so for the first time we had simultaneous appointments with two other stylists. Their new lunch boxes arrived yesterday as well, so we are officially ready for school to start on 9/9!
Out of 12 siblings, all 6 who are still living attended! They range in age from 78-93 years. Grandpa D. was soooo happy.
Holley D. took a bunch of great pictures so I'm hoping to get a few and post them soon (note, they have been added here). Kaylan, Silas & Zoe had fun running around and playing. Here they are giving their Great-Grandma a hug before she went back to the nursing home.
When the fun was done, everybody pitched in to clean up.
