Family traditions

We just finshed our yearly family tradition of having a hamburger cookout at our Antipolo vacation house on Black Saturday of the lenghten season. All our 3 married children and one single daughter attended and we had a lot of fun. This has been going on for the past six years and I am very happy that it is one of the tradions that helps keep the family close with each other. I remenber when the kids were still young Cora my Wife made it a point to have enjoyable family traditions. What I have experienced is that all these traditions that have been enjoyable are the ones our children will probably continue when their own families grow.Besides when one gets older like me having the family around talking and joking with each other is one of the joys that is difficult to buy.
