Every October, for the past 27 years, my dad's family has gotten together for a weekend at a campgrounds in northern Illinois. It is one of my favorite times of the year. It was great to see people, catch up, fellowship, and just be together. We had a wonderful weekend: great weather, 47 people there (I think) with only a few cousins missing.
The leaves were just starting to change
So glad my cousin, Emily got to come Saturday after work ... We missed you, Drew!
There were several board games and card games played, as usual.
(can you tell these people are related?)
And many hours spend telling stories...
James and I with my sister, her husband, and a couple of our cousins made breakfast Saturday morning. With an obscene amount of food. James making pancakes and Julia making bacon...
Amelia did GREAT! She enjoyed walking everywhere, being outside, having so many to people to see ... sleeping wasn't so great, but that was expected.
Walking...
She also very much enjoyed playing with her cousins ... this is her 2nd cousin Josiah who is 2.
It was a great time remembering my Grandparents as well. So thankful for the heritage of which I am apart. Furthermore, blessed to have James and Amelia be there as well. Can't wait until next year already!!!
