No my children would not be interested in the reunion at all but I would
have to travel with them and their father would be taking them around town
as I attend the reunion. Sorry to say I would not be able to attend during
their school year even if I did not bring them. Missing a game or two at
home would not be a problem since my kids love to travel and explore new
places.
