Family, Memories and a great family vacation.
With all three sets of Connor and MaKenna's Grandparents living on Lakes in NYS we try to arrange family visits in the summer. Add Connor and MaKenna's football and cheer schedules into the mix; not to mention the fact that I am the "newbie" at work when it comes to vacation time and that makes for some quick, jammed packed family visits.
This year's the trip to Henderson was special in that it was the first time that all my siblings [on my father's side] and their spouses were together in a long time [since Brooke & Jesse's wedding].
We had a great time. We went white water rafting on the Black River in Watertown, NY. For me, I don't know what made me laugh more... Sarah's nervous energy before we even boarded the rafts or her "oh s_ _ _!" comments through out the ride!The Wilkins participated for the first time in the Greystone Cup - a semi -serious amateur Croquet tournament. It was an adult only [Connor got a bi and was Grandpa's partner] tournament... truthfully I think that Rick would have been better off with MaKenna as his partner. I did improve when I went to the one handed method [one hand holding a cocktail and one hand holding the mallet -form counts for something... doesn't it?!]
Connor and MaKenna were very busy... lots of people around to indulge their energy and imaginations! Brownie making, cooking classes, wave splashing, swimming, scavenger hunting, fishing, Wii playing, treasure maps and treasure, bonfires with pie irons and smores! Plenty of hugs and kisses to hold close to our hearts and cherish until the next time when we are together.
