Lake Whitney

We spent this past weekend in Lake Whitney with my dad's family.  My grandparents, aunt and uncle, parents, cousins (and their families) and my sister and her husband were all able to be there for the weekend.  My cousin found us an amazing house that was perfect for all 25 of us!

There were plenty of things to keep everyone entertained- ping pong, pool, shuffle board, a nice backyard perfect for hitting golf balls, and of course a wide variety of games (which always includes Scrabble!).  A little bit of relief from the heat would've made the backyard and outdoor kitchen a little bit more enjoyable.

My sweet grandparents

It was a fast weekend, but we had so much fun catching up with everyone.  There were quite a few new cousins (or 2nd cousins or whatever...) this time, and we all enjoyed watching them interact.  Levi was very confused about who all of these kids actually were.  I kept telling him they were his cousins, but he kept insisting they were just friends.  He enjoyed playing with all of them though!

 I LOVE the silly faces in this picture!!

Getting this picture could be an entire blog post in itself...

You can see from this picture that my cousins and I share the same height challenges.  :)  There are quite a few TALL husbands, and they enjoyed towering over (and poking fun at) all of us.  My sister is by far the tallest of this crew of grandkids, and she isn't all that tall!

We've already started planning our next get together, and we can't wait!  We missed a few family members this weekend and are hoping that the entire family will be able to be there next time!
