Reunion

For my entire life and then some, my Mother's side of the family has had an annual reunion. It's every summer and although the locations have changed, the 3-4 day long event always promises the same- fun family time. Last summer was the first reunion I had attended with Mark and the kids...and after that, we promised to be back. You see, we could spend the money to take the kids to Disney, which I'm sure would filled with great times...but there is just something about pure family time. No cells, laptops or TV. Just a lake and TONS of family is all we need. We have a talent show- and this year Adelle got into a "dance-off" with my cousin! It was a riot!
The kids had a blast with all the cousins, and it brings back memories of when I was little, sippin' on soda dangling my feet in the lake with my cousins.
(Sorry about picture overload...there were just too many cute ones!)
