Does your extended family have those large-scale family reunions (30 people or more)? If so, do you attend? ~

I have only been to one of those. I met some cousins I didn't know I had.

Yes it does, but I cannot keep track of all the changing children, wifes and husbands, so I dont go.

I've been to a couple when I was very little.  

No, but my family is fairly small anyway. We've had Thanksgivings where we get a pretty good group of my dad's relatives together, but the problem is that my mom's side of the family all lives in Japan. I have been to a reunion in Japan, but my sub-par Japanese language skills made it a little awkward!

Yes every year. 
I go when it is in my home town. It gives me a reason to visit parents. 

I come from a very close family....Going home to my parents house ,I often find distant relatives there.....Get togethers are often and involve relitives of many ages....from babies to old fogeys...:)  

Yea they do.. but they don't invite me.. mainly because I don't really get involved in that side of the family. I am more into direct family. 

Nah. My family is very small. You can count them on one hand.

There was one and that was it. Not enough people to have another one because most of us are all dead. Alcoholism.:-( This post was edited by Zack at August 16, 2018 12:19 PM MDT

Our family is very small.  Every time we have dinner together it's a reunion.  

We are moving my mother from 700 miles away to be close to the rest of the family.  We are very happy about this.  We've been trying for years.  She finally agreed when we told her we bought an apartment for her.  

My husband's family did. We went once, but regretted going. It's a typical Hispanic family that uses any occasion as an excuse to get drunk. 

We used to run family Christmas parties that got close to 30, if not quite. Number dwindled after Mum passed away and the junior generation hit teens.  

We'll see how many turn up to Bro and Wife's joint big birthday party. At least 30 were invited... 

 

Yes.  I had two of around the end of June.  First we went to a reunion for my husband's side of the family which had about 30 people.  That was in northern Wisconsin.  After that we drove 200 miles to go to a reunion for my mom's side of the family.  That was in southwestern Wisconsin and it also had about 30 people.  My cousin was also visiting us so I thought she would be pretty bored at my husband's maternal grandfather's family reunion but she hit it off with them anyway.  That side of my hubby's family is pretty easy going and friendly.

There were a couple of epic battles at my mom's family reunion as usual but it's always the same two family members, my uncle and one of my cousins, who start those epic battles.  This year the epic battles were about the way one cousin pronounces her last name, organic food and of course, Donald Trump.
