It is a beautiful thing when families take time out of their busy lives to be with one another. And every year, for just one weekend, the Barnes’ clan does just that. This past weekend was marked by many memorable moments during the annual family reunion. There are so many pictures, and they really explain all the details, so I will spare any pre-commentary. Suffice it to say that I feel incredibly grateful to be a part of such a giving, fun, thoughtful, talented and friendly group of people.
