Well, we have another successful and fun houseboat vacation in KY with family.
We have many traditions after 10 years of gathering for this event at the beginning of summer. We meet up at the park for our picnic. It is always great to see each other.
Our picnic was at noon on Friday.
After a lengthy wait for the repair man to fix our refrigerator we were off to find our evening mooring. That evening we celebrated two birthdays, again another tradition. It is usually B's birthday during the trip but we also celebrate others. Gram made "Death by Chocolate" as was requested by B.
Our first full day was rainy in the morning. Gram brought a puzzle and so we put it together, read and just generally relaxed after breakfast.
The sun came out and we were able to play. Look at that little one in Daddy's lap. She loved the water.
Our newest member, Josh's wife, fit right in.
The meals were terrific.
We played Mexican Train and Doug and Jessica brought this engineer's hat for the winner to wear while playing the next round. Josh had two terrific round. He went out on his first run one time and was only one tile short the other time. Those two events were 'history making' for our group. However, he still didn't get to take the hat home. It stays with Jessica and Doug for future games.
We played in the water, Gram enjoyed her children and grandchildren.
This little one was with us as a tiny baby last year but joined right in with all the fun this year.
Momma and Daddy had fun with her in the water.
Leo enjoyed spending time with Josh and his new wife. She is a keeper for our family.
Of course Gram and her grandchildren had lots of fun together.
Uncle Bud joined this family picture.
I took lots of pictures on the last day of Eva and her grandchildren and children.
This cutie really enjoyed the trip and we really enjoyed her.
The last picture we took before heading off in our own directions. Everyone made it home safe and happy for having this time together.
This is a great family time together and I am thankful that we have this tradition to meet together as summer begins and enjoy our time together.
