Family Reunion at Lake Michigan

Our family reunion was with my mother's side of the family. We were able to have every single member of the family make it this year, and that's really exciting. No one was sick, hurt or deployed!!!

We started out with an evening of games once the kids were put to bed. I think games in the evening always tend to be some of my favorite times at family gatherings.

The next morning we went blueberry picking. There were some members of our group that weren't too excited about this since they didn't like blueberries. But I think everyone got into it once we got there and we had quite a haul, about 33 pounds of berries! And everyone helped eat them, fresh blueberries are so yummy, and much better than even the frozen option.

Then of course we had to hit the beach several times over the next couple of days.

We had such a great time, the activities and the location were fabulous! We are so excited to come to the next one and wish it wasn't two years away.
