The Notorious Polack Reunion... Vacation Recap Continued

Of the many things planned on our trip, the big family reunion was surely on our much anticipated list of things to attend. It was hosted at my Uncle Albert's beautiful lake side house and was attended by not only Snickers and I but also by about 40 family members, making it quite the grand introduction into the family for Snickers.

A number of my cousins and I have stayed in touch via text messaging on our phones and Facebook but it was so great to see them again in person. A lot of Polish hugs were dished out and an equal amount of Polish jokes were made... hahaha.

Snickers loved meeting all the mini-Polacks of the family but kept a particular eye on one of my brother T-Roy's daughter who has apparently also developed a quick liking for him.

My uncle's house made for the perfect location for the reunion and it was so great getting to introduce Snickers to the rest of my family. I think the memory of the day that will forever stick with both Snickers and I was the fact that many of my relatives showed up with Korean sentences scribbled down on pieces of paper. First it was one of my aunts who surprised us by breaking out into Korean. She had pretty much killed the Korean language but had scored major points for sweetness. Going through this same situation with other relatives only made me feel more proud of my family than ever. It was such a wickedly sweet way to break the ice and try to welcome Snickers into the family... thank you!!!

My brother Bobby-B had big plans of doing a massive family photo shoot, so he was busy doing that for a good chunk of the day. Snickers had instantly clicked with Bobby-B, so he acted as Bobby-B's assistant. Snickers worked away helping my brother while I continued socializing and catching up with family. Turns out I'm not the only Polack in the family with an attraction towards the Asians. One of my uncles, the only bachelor in the bunch of brothers, likes Asian women and has dated some Korean women. "See" I told him, "once you go Asian you never go Caucasian!"... hahaha.

My uncle has a boat so it was quick to fill up with relatives all wanting a spin around the gorgeous lake.

The family reunion was a huge success and it was sad to leave them all. They had surprised me with a birthday card signed by all and a big cake. at first it was a little overbearing for Snickers, being through into a pack of Polacks, but he ended up having a lot of fun. Numerous members thought it funny to try to scare him, telling that if he better not hurt me "... or else!". No worries there, Snickers is a total softy when it comes to me. Anyways, we had spent the whole day outside in the beautiful fresh air and it wasn't until late in the evening that we all parted our ways. Yet another Polack reunion down, and yet another great one now to look forward to.
