Well, its here and gone! On June 18th Jessica and I drove to the cabin and spent a couple of days with Big Grandma and Grandpa, went home with them and brought mom home with us to wait out the time with me until the family reunion on July 4th. We feel it was a huge success, hopefully everyone who attended thought so also. Dad got to our house on the 3rd as did Mike, Kathy and Jon. Friday started out a little slow, not too many showed up until lunch time but it was really good food and the card tournament was fun. Then (leave it to Mike) we had a terrific waterfight. We laughed and played hard not to mention got extremely wet. Harold filled up the orchard with water for the kids and they were in seventh heaven playing on the big water tubes.

Dinner was fantastic, Mike fixed dutch oven for all of us (THE VEGIES WERE MY FAVORITE). Not much left over. Friday night was our softball game with Jes, Kyle, Megan, Melissa, Mike, Kathy, Jon, Shinae, Allen, Tyler, Harold, LaRee, Clinton, Big GM and GP sat on and cheered. Hope I didn't forget anyone! Then back to our home for FIREWORKS. We got to bed about midnight. Saturday morning had a great breakfast and on to the festivities again. Again a little slow start but by lunch we were rolling again. After lunch we made marshmellow shooters and had a WAR. Even mom and dad got into the action!!!! It was a great time for all!
After 8 bags of mini marshmellows all over my back yard we took family pictures.
Jes and I would like to thank all of you for your support in driving so far to attend, hope it was as rewarding for you all as it has been for us. 
Mike, Kathy and Jon stayed on until yesterday and we continued to have a great time with them. Aubrie and Brian came over almost every night to play cards and we floated the canal and just had a great time together. Family is such a great BLESSING!!!! I love them all.
