Memories

As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you (if you already haven't). It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

VACATION!!!

We're home and we're all still alive. We just spent a week in Anacortes, WA with 13 family members not counting us. We had the most wonderful time celebrating the 4th of July and my Uncles 50th Birthday. My Mom, Grandma, Auntie and her family along with us all traveled up for the occasion. My cousin Tor and his family live there locally, along with my cousin Shawn.

We had quite the time my Uncle lives on Lake Erie, so there were paddle boat rides, fishing and even a few rides in the power boat. Dell wanted nothing more than to go fishing with Uncle Russ, but unfortunetly not a single fish was caught. We had so much fun and got to do so many fun things so here's the breakdown.

July 3rd- we hung out at the lake and Dell fished and went for boat rides

It was so great to see people from my Mom's side of the family we don't get to get together very often, but we have so much fun when we do. I have to say I have a wonderful family and I love all of you very much. I'll add more photos as I get them.
