Whether you have a huge extended family or a small close knit family, family picnics can be a little hectic. Even if they drive you insane, family is family and you just have to love their quirks. Plus the food is always big plus in my books.
The Photographer
Someone in your family id definitely guilty of making everyone stop and smile before doing anything.
The Grill Master
Usually the role taken by the dad, grandpa or uncle. Something about fire and raw meat is appealing to the "man" of the family.
The one that has one too many wine coolers
There's always one relative that hits the booze a little too hard. Whether they dance on tables or fall asleep in a lawn chair and wind up with a sunglass tan line, they get a little out of hand.
The one that can't tell you and your sister apart
Usually this is a distant relative...i mean I would hope so. Even if you don't even look like your siblings, they'll never keep the names straight.
The one who is always late
This is the person that even if you tell them the picnic begins at 12 they will only show up 1:30.
The Horseshoe crew
You know who I'm talking about, the four men that hangout around the horseshoe pits with a beer in hand at all times.
The person who brings the latest Pinterest dessert
Cookies and brownies are not up to par in a world with pinterest inspired desserts and there is always someone that needs to show everyone else up.
The person that just has to talk about their latest fad diet
Whether it be smoothies, liquid diets, or a weird no carb diet, they cannot help but tell everyone about it. Don't forget eat their hamburger without a bun...
The one who isn't actually there because they had to work
Every family has a workaholic, but are they actually working? Or just avoiding the family gathering?
The one who is more entertained by working on their tan
They roll up their shorts and sleeves and lather on the baby oil.
The questioner
"How's your gpa? Do you have a boyfriend? Are you eating okay? Did you make any friends?" AHHHHHHHH
