Family Reunion 2011


August 5-7, '11~We spent the weekend at Lake Mac for Bernie's
annual family reunion. It was the 25th anniversary of the event.
I've been to 19 of them! Wow!


Tyler brought girlfriend Sidney. They had lots of fun playing
volleyball, swimming, going tubing and just getting to hang
out before school starts.


Cade wasted no time in going tubing! He had a lot of fun!




The lake is full this year and the weather was enjoyable.


Bernie and the boys' played lots of games of volleyball!
Tyler going for an awesome block.






The evenings were so pretty. Each night though it stormed.

Another day, another game!




Bernie's brother's Dave, Ed and Cousin Fred.



Bernie decided to do a little night skiing! He's still got it!
Not bad for an old guy! ha ha!


I always love watching him ski. He has to do it every year
just to prove he still can! :)


Garrett and Bernie after skiing.
We all had a good time. Saw lots of family, ate lots of good food
and got a lot of sun! When we got home Sunday, we unloaded, hit
the showers then rested the rest of the day! But, there's no time to
re-cup! The boys' started 2-a-day football practice bright and early
this morning! The will have practice from 6am-8am then again from
6pm-8pm every day until school starts on the 18th. The boys' all got
registered for their classes today too. Each will have a heavy load this
year. Doesn't seem like school should be starting but I think they're
ready to get back and be among their friends and all of the activities.
Garrett is about to begin his Senior year.........yikes! We will have lots
of 'firsts' and 'lasts' this year.....hope I'm ready! I turned in my resignation
at Paxton Schools and am very much looking forward to being a full-time
Mom again, attending all of the boys' sporting events, etc! I will still sub
when they need me but will have more time and energy to focus on the boys'.
Summer is now over for us. It went fast but we were able to enjoy some really
fun family time, going on two mini vacations, what a blessing.
