For the July long weekend we went to Dutch Lake for a family reunion. There were 51 of us there, which is everybody but one family of 5. The weather wasn't the best, but we still had fun.
Saturday was warm enough to go to the beach where Rachael had fun swimming,
Kaitlyn had fun playing,
and Jaden had fun splashing in the water.
There were canoe trips,
beautiful views,
throwing rocks in the water,
and finding wildlife. (This is a frog.)
This is a painted turtle (the underside)
This wildlife I could have done without! (She so does not get her love of snakes from her mother - you'll notice the "Daddy's Girl" t-shirt!)
While the girls were picking up creepy crawlies, the boys picked flowers!
So did Elizabeth.
There was dirt to be played in 
and marshmallows to be roasted over the campfire.
It rained some
but then we played games inside. 
We were celebrating Grandma's 90th birthday, Grandpa's 89th birthday and their 64 years of marriage. 
Now that's something to celebrate!
