Last Thursday was the 4th of July. Sylvia and I participated in what has become a family tradition. We gathered with other family members at her sister Karen’s house. Her brother and father drove over to meet up with us and the four of us drove the two hours north.
Karen’s sons and their families were there. She enjoyed being with her grandsons. Both sides of this family were there in force. I won’t bore you with details. But there are a couple of picture you might like.
The boys with Grandma
The boys were the center of attention. We all enjoyed it. We also had a great dinner. Did I mention that we all enjoyed it?
The boys with great grandpa. I think they prefer grandma.
Fortunately, the weather was not as hot as it was last year. So we were able to enjoy the fresh air on the large deck. Good people. Good food. Good conversation. All too soon it was time to head back home.
Someone asked me if this would end up on this blog. I said, “Probably not.” But, as you can see, I was wrong again.
Quite a range of ages there. Nice that you are all so close.
Family times are the best times!
Those pictures are truly great samples of your good times.
I love family get-togethers. I’m glad you all had a good visit. 🙂
Those things are great and remind us of the centrality of family in our lives. Sylvia and I both have strong, cohesive families. :up: 8)
Hahaha! Oh, if I could keep track of all the times that everyone asks if this or that is blog material. 🙂 Why, yes. Life is blog fodder.
Looks like you all had a ton of fun. Well, except for the kid crying on the couch with Grandpa.
In that horrible music video that you recently posted, I can hear you say that it will make it on your blog!. :rofl:
Nathan had just woken from a nap and he was still a bit cranky. He wasn’t so sure he wanted to be with great grandpa. :no:
There’s nothing better than time with family! 🙂
That’s for sure! 8)
