I'll try to catch you up....
Dave and Gina decided to pour a concrete pad next to the garage for the boat and camper or whatever they need to park there. It is the whole side of the garage and patio. Turned out really nice.
Daniel and Dan went over and helped pour and finish.
Truck arriving - hmmmmmm, seems to be a bit of a problem, no?!
Nothing a chain saw can't remedy.

FAMILY REUNION
The last weekend of July we have our family reunion on my side. We trade off going to IL, CT and MI. This year we met in IL. The agreement is that the hosting state provides lodging for all the others coming in from out-of-state. They also provide food and entertainment.
The IL contingent did a great job this year.
We all made it - none were missing. So enjoy the pictures of the whole family.
Aubrie - Clayton and Tammy's little girl.
Gianna - Mike and Torei's youngest
Jazmyn
Rayna
We played our favorite game - volleyball - a lot!
Dave and Gideon with the kids favorite bike.

Mike (Torei's husband....Torei is my brother Hal's daughter....makes her my neice!)
They had us play a game - they had all our baby pictures printed and we had to guess who everyone was.
This was our team....
My oldest brother, Hal's team
The two other teams
