Provo • One summer night, Michelle Kaufusi arrived home and could barely made it inside her front door. She was forced to maneuver around over 20 pairs of shoes and sandals, bunched up into a mound on the porch. Yes, she says, looking back more than a decade later, it really was that full. This is how it was every summer, for a couple of weeks, when as many as two dozen cousins descended on the Kaufusi home in Provo.
If you were a boy among the 47 grandchildren, you went to Steve and Michelle’s house every summer.
