Episode 7: Family Reunions

Family reunions bring generations together for potluck meals, lawn games, and chaotic attempts to recall how everyone is related. Behind the group photos and picnic shelter reservations is a delicate dance of tradition, personality clashes, and the annual drama of who volunteered—and who was voluntold—to organize the whole thing. Reunion veterans break down the unwritten rules, the recurring mishaps, and the strategies that help families survive a full day with relatives they only see every few years.
