SEEKING: FAMILY

When I was growing up, my family was always full of drama. I had to go to a family reunion in the Sierras this past week. It was beautiful, but frustrating. I'm the only one without kids—my mother is more serious, and the rest of my family doesn't get along. I was so frustrated that I almost left, but a few of my cousins and I started playing Search Party on the cabin property. My little niece joined us, then my mom and then my grandma! (I had to download it for them, lol.) But I never realized how fun hide-and-seek could be, even for my crankiest family members. We ended up playing way past my nieces' and grandma’s bedtime. We had so much fun!
