I've yet to figure out how to email a group from my iOS devices. Is it even possible?

It's hacky, but here you go ...
Send yourself an email to your iPad with your contacts that you want create a group with, next copy the email addresses from the email. Open the Contacts app and create a new contact on your iPad, paste all of the email addresses and name the contact to something that fits the group (family, friends, work, etc.). Now, when you send an email on your iPad you will see the name of the newly created group.
Best I could find. There are a few apps in the iTunes App Store that try to make this easier, but they rarely get good reviews.

Thanks, DJJ. On my iPad, I already see the group I created on my Mac. The contacts are sync'ed. So, when I try and type in the group name, and then move to the next field, the emails do not appear in the To: field like on my Mac's email app. Not saying your approach will not work, just that the group is already present on my iPad. And, it's not working. I am assuming that it should behave as on my Mac's mail app.
