[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 331268, member: 412"] We get together w/wife's side of the family pretty regular. Wife tries to get the kids down to grandma/grandpa's at least 1x/Mo and we get the whole family together 2x-3x/yr. If her family were closer we'd do more together but it's 3hrs to her folks and another 3+ to her brother's. My folks are gone and my only sibling lives in AZ. Time is the biggest issue. Just not enough vacation time to get everything in. I'm pretty in-flexible about leaving ND in the summer to visit AZ. Kids' school vacations between AZ and ND don't line up well save Thanksgiving or Christmas and that's another "Not Gonna Do It" situation RE: Airline Travel around Thanksgiving/Christmas/New-Years. Hunting used to bring extended family together many weekends in the fall, but, without oceans of CRP to spread out and work, groups of more than 3-4 get to be a significant hassle. I hunted with my uncle yesterday as he's retired and I had the day off. It's the 1st time we've hunted together in probably 5-6yrs, maybe longer. Used to just be my uncle and cousin. Now it's my uncle, cousin, a grandchild (or 2), and 1 or 2 son's-in-law. Rather than being the 6th or 7th wheel, I just go do my own thing. [/QUOTE]
