We are family...

... I'd say "all my brothers, sisters and me" except that I don't have any brothers, and I have only one sister. However, I DO have a whole bunch of cousins and aunts and uncles. And this past weekend a bunch of us (33 in all!) gathered at a resort in North Central MN for 4 days. We had more fun than I ever could have imagined.

Bonfires every night...

The best part? S'mores!!

My beautiful Grandmother, whom I love so dearly, was also able to come. There are few things better in life than visiting with my Grandma. I just cherish every moment with her.

During the day, the kids played non-stop at the beach...

... did a little fishing from the dock. Even Ariana gave it a try!

Here I am with all of my "girl" cousins and my sister...

My Uncle brought a fishing boat, and my cousin brought a jazzed up speed boat. Here we are on my my Uncle's fishing boat just about to go cruising.

And here we are on my cousins fancy speedboat watching them wake board. SO much fun!

Alex LOVED the speedboat!

... Braden, too!
