Front walk...great view :)
This year I was in charge of putting together our Family Reunion. We had so much fun. Of course, nothing ever goes perfect, but I think we all really enjoyed each other's company. It's easier when you're all staying in the same home, or in this case, Inn. We headed up to Lava Hot Springs and stayed at the Inn at Owl Hollow, located in Bancroft. It was beautiful! We had the entire Inn to ourselves, it was set back into the mountain and had tons of privacy. We just hung out around the fire the first night and got settled. The next day we spent at Lava. The water slides there are crazy! There are quite a few little daredevils in our family. I would never jump off those high dives! The weather was perfect. It was a little windy while a small storm passed, but we never got rained on :) Later that night we played some Minute to Win it games and did s'mores. The best part was just sitting around the fire and visiting. Times like those help me to remember how much I love my family and all of the things I have learned from each one of them. I love my nieces and nephews and can't believe how big our family is getting. I hope that they all know how much I look forward to having us all together. I don't see them as often as I'd like, but I am glad we are close and have good relationships. When it comes right down to it, family is the only thing that matters...and I love mine! Thanks Mom and Dad for everything you are and everything you've done :)
