Family Get-Togethers

This past weekend I took a trip up to Massachusetts to see family and celebrate my nephew's 2nd birthday. The weather was beautiful so we were able to party outside in my sister's backyard. We did the usual bbq fare of burgers, dogs, beer and lemonade. It was interesting to see the new dynamic in the family though now that there are so many kids. I noticed it is a challenge to have a conversation with someone because everyone is trying to concentrate on where their kids are and entertaining them. You get in the small talk and catch up a little, but relaxing and chatting is not really a part of life anymore. I guess that's what email, texting, Facebook, Skype and the phone are for.
