Last week was my Aunt Terry's (center, blue top) 50th Birthday celebration. Her and my Uncle Billy rented an 8 bedroom house in Virginia Beach. She is one of 9 siblings. Six of them are pictured here. (Sorry for the blurry photo.)
We played lots of Wii bowling until it was time to hit the beach or the backyard pool.
I learned to play Mexican Train Dominos and now I am addicted!
Then my cousin Eric (yellow shirt) developed a game that pitted two teams of siblings against each other. Teams took turns answering questions about about one another and growing up together. I learned that Ken's favorite present was one that he still has some 40 years later; a desk he got when he was a kid.
The following week a group of us went to Lost Cove near Linville Gorge.
Annie made the trip as well. She is 16 years young.

Still breaking in the new hammock. This might have been the first time it has left my back yard.
Swimming spot #1.
Swimming spot #2 was a really mellow waterfall. Climbing back up was really challenging for Rob's dog Baker.
Sliding down on your butt was a bit painful but too fun to pass up.
Emily, Tamara and Rebecca got in on the action as well, but here the dudes all following each other down.
Rob and Baker.
Check out the new feature Tamara taught me how to do with my camera!

Annie gets a sherpa to carry her out.
