Fish Boil on Horsehead Bay

We were invited to the Kelly's (James' grandma Phyllis' sister & family) for a fish boil. Being that I am not a seafood eater I wasn't so sure about it all. As you can see- there was an abundance of food.


Tyler, James and Justin stand in front of the table after the first of the food had been dumped on it. I lucked out because the first dump of food had NO seafood in it. Just sausage and veggies.

Justin tries his 1st crab leg.

Lake Retreat Family Camp 2009

Our family has carried on the tradition that my parents started when I was young of going to Family Camp at Lake Retreat every summer.


Tyler, Thad and Justin- they see each other only about 2 times a year, but as soon as they get together it is like they haven't spent any time apart!



Good times!

Tyler caught in the act...

The adult banquet this year was Hawaiian themed.

Tyler and mom at the tire swing. I couldn't get him to climb in it this year.

Justin either...

That's as close as i could get them.

They played some lively games of pickleball this year. Lots of sibling rivalry frustrations were taken out on the court.

Tyler- I don't know how he could see the ball through all the hair.
