Family Reunion

We went to Jake's Michaelson family reunion (that would be his dad's mom's family) this weekend. And although we are definitely not camping people (even when said camping is in someone's yard) we had a good time with most of Jake's brothers and sisters and all the extended family too. Once again I didn't take my camera (I really don't know what has come over me and forgetting my camera so much lately, but it has become a regular problem). We got there finally Friday night after some technical difficulty which involved turning around and coming back home more than an hour into our three hour trip. The kids had fun exploring the place where we were staying and playing with their cousins. They had a movie for everyone to watch, which was good for everyone but Abbie, since she wanted nothing to do with sleep until the movie was over which was after 11. Saturday we had a good time, ate good food and caught up with lots of family. The kids did as many of the crafts and activities as we would allow and had a great time. They played water baseball after lunch and were glad to be soaked to the bone in the hot sun. We ended up leaving early Saturday before dinner but had a good time while we were there. We had a much easier trip back home and everyone was glad to get to sleep in their own beds....now to tackle the mountain of laundry.....
