It was so wonderful to have sunshine this weekend after a big storm hit last week. The hum of chainsaws has been heard sun up to sun down in our neighborhood for days.
After the storm, the neighbors came together to help each other out and make sure everyone was alright. It's such a blessing to have the neighbors we do, who can celebrate with us when the electricity and water go back on - cheering and splashing each other with the water bottles that were no longer needed :)
Yesterday, we met with my grandma's side of the family for a reunion at a state park. It was so much fun to see everyone again!
Since the bridge was under construction, we had two options to get to the place - either by foot on a boardwalk/path or by canoe. Let's just say a few of us liked to pretend the canoe was the only way ;) so we loaded it up with coolers, blankets, a camera, sunscreen, and people. Thankfully, the bag of sunscreen was all that got wet!
There was a lot of swimming, splashing, eating, relaxing,
talking, and competition in bocce ball!
Our little family pulled aside for a picture at one point before we tried to squeeze the whole crew into one later on.
On a completely different note, our little garden has just taken off, getting bigger and bigger.
