Wait. It's not July anymore? I actually wrote this post over two weeks ago and never got my photos together to finish it. Now we are well into August and the kids start school THIS WEEK! Only four days left of summer vacation. Seriously, where has the time gone?
Now back to the regularly schedule post.
We have not had our usual busy summer vacation. Well, it has been busy but with regular stuff: I am working part time as an accountant, Josh had water polo twice a week and both kids are preparing for their Taekwondo black belt test.
We did have two major family events in July, so prepare yourself for a lot of pictures to get this blog current.
First, Walt's dad was out for the long Fourth of July weekend and Walt's brother and family came over to hang out three days in a row. I really enjoyed having so much family in the house, just hanging out and visiting with each other; I think everyone enjoyed it.
Second, we went to Patrick's Point State Park for a Tandy family reunion. My maternal grandfather was a Tandy so my mom, her three siblings and one of her cousins plus some of their children and grandchildren were there. Follow? All-in-all there was about 50 people there including blood family, spouses, partners, and friends.
Our family camped for five nights in the park along with my sister, Shelly, and her family. All other families came in and went out at different times, some camping and some staying in a local motel. Our group event, on a Friday evening, was in the park and that was time we had set aside to all be together at once. The rest of the time was split between camping, beaches, and redwoods with whoever was willing to join us. I had such a great time that I didn't want to leave and would have been happy with two more nights there.
