Picking out bracelets or "silly bands"....these are a hot item.

Mom, Diana, Me, Robin (the perfect Host and Friend) and Natalie. It was so much fun to see Robin and her family again. We always have such a good time with them!
Robin's backyard...this pool was so nice to have in 100 degree weather. We couldn't get the kids out of it. It was a salt water pool too, even better.
Lily and Kaylee...
Gracie...not quite ready to venture off without a flotation device yet. :)
Zach, Haydn and Riley...nothin' but trouble ;)
Every other year we have the Hillesheim Family Reunion. It's been something that we look forward to because we actually travel out of state, so it's also a little vacation for us. Granted, the road trips aren't always the best, but we always end up having a good time...even if we do get stuck in traffic for 2 hrs without moving because of a big accident...no, I'm not kidding. Even so, I love my family so much and I enjoy the time I get to spend with them...even if we are a little dysfunctional. Here's to the good times we've had and to the ones still to come!
