The Sprigg family gets together every couple of years for a BIG family vacation. The picture here is several years ago (1995'ish) when 'brother' Mark had to take a shift at one of the hospitals in St. Louis during our vacation. So David and I took all of the kids and went to the zoo - what better way to keep them busy all day! The looks we got were amazing because the kids are pretty much 'stair-stepped' in age with the exception of Hanna who is 3 years younger than Nate. Some people actually asked "Are they ALL yours?" We finally got tired of trying to explain and began to say "Why Yes, they are!" which generated even stranger looks - more like looks of pity!! It was fun!
At any rate, the kids now range in age from early- to late-20's and oddly enough still want to go on vacation with the 'old folks'! We'll all converge on Dauphin Island, Alabama in a few weeks! We've heard it's a fairly quiet island, but I'm not so sure that will hold true after the Sprigg Family! They're now bringing their own families - husbands, kids of their own, girlfriends, boyfriends......... Paul and Marcia who weren't with us on the trip to St. Louis have added 2 more to their family, and we've added Caleb, so all 20 of us should have an awesome time. We're counting the days...........
