Fun Family function at my parents house. Playing cornhole/baggo. One evening having a cornhole/baggo tournament. With a trophy! My sisters were making margaritas and offering shots. Aunt Geraldine, Aunt Madonna, and Aunt Joan getting a bit tipsy They were having such a good time! My dad turning off the lights at 8:30 and kicking everyone out. Uncle Jerry, laughing at him and turning them back on. Great memories!
