By the Numbers

We recently hosted a very fun Sagers family reunion/get together/BBQ/outdoor party/whatever-you-want-to-call-it for Dave's immediate family at our house. Unfortunately, not everyone could attend, so we're already looking forward to next year! However, all six of the brothers were able to make it for a very happy reunion, indeed. Here is the lowdown:

39 people attending
17 years since all six Sagers siblings have been together at one time
6 Sagers brothers
0 Sagers sisters
26 children between all six of the brothers and their wives
9 1/2 grandchildren between the six brothers and wives (ours is the one-half!)
1100 miles (approximately) traveled one way by brother living furthest away (Texas)
57 years of marriage for Grandma Pauline and Grandpa Richard
1 giant PLINKO board
95 PLINKO prizes
100 glow-in-the-dark bracelets shot out of the candy cannon
75 mph winds (or so it seemed) blowing us around
3 cups of water blown onto Grandma Pauline's lap
1 awesome slide show by Grandpa Richard of the six brothers from infants to marriage

Below is a picture of a stuffed dummy Sean and Christian made for the water balloon slingshot competition. A couple of days after our party we had more extreme winds, and I looked out my back window to see the dummy had lost his pants in the wind! How embarrassing for him! Dear neighbors: If anyone happens across a pair of stuffed pants, you can drop them off on our porch. I'm sure whoever finds the pants is probably thinking, "I don't even want to know what THAT is all about! I just don't even want to know. Here. Just take the pants," as they gingerly hold them between two fingers . . .
