The Lake House

My mom's side of the family (which is probably half of the people who read this) has had a lake house in Roaming Rock, OH since the 70's. It's a home that now four generations of people have been able to enjoy. However, I have not been there since I was in college. I used to go there often in high school and college when my cousins (well, like third cousins) all lived closer.

This is one of the first years in a LONG time that there have not been any summer weddings on that side. I have been lucky enough to see most of my cousins through touring, but weddings are really the only time that we all get together. So someone came up with the wonderful idea of inviting us all to the lake for a fun Saturday together!

Things ten years later at the lake were a little different- everyone has the cutest kids in the world now! I swear, we create some good lookin' babies. Last year five girls were preggo at the same time- crazy. Almost everyone was able to come. People brought food, drinks, corn hole, cards... but the real entertainment was of course the kids. The weather was less than desirable, but that didn't stop them from swimming and tubing and playing outside.

We took a huge family photo for my cousin Patrick, who is in Afghanistan. It was next to impossible to get the kids to sit still for it and not have a few of them crying! So they were bribed with fruit snacks, and all the girls singing "The Wheels On The Bus". My Aunt Kathy has the pic on her camera, so I will post it when she sends it out.

Enjoy the pics from our fun family day!!
