It's been said that funerals make good family reunions. It's a sad reason to get together, but it is sure good to see everyone. I really enjoyed visiting with Uncle Ray. He stayed several days, helping to get things done around the house. He spent a morning fixing the tractor and an afternoon mowing the grass. 
And we can't go back East without having a crab feast!
Poor Kai was sick with a fever. I've never seen him so still and quiet.
Once the front yard was mowed they set up the badminton net and played all weekend.
This is Christine's husband, Tony. They're sure happy to be back from Oklahoma.
See all those gnats flying around Dave's head? They spent more time swatting at bugs than at the birdie. There are some things about living back East that I don't miss, although the fireflies at night were pretty.
Patrick brought the badminton set and crabs. He was the hero of the day.
Noah is sure growing up to be a handsome young man. The haircut helps.
Celestial is always happy!
She loves silky scarves. This is currently her favorite.
When they weren't playing badminton, they were playing basketball. Who chose Dave to guard Jason?!
Jason (Alicia's husband) is such a crack-up. He's always a lot of fun to be around.
Love this pic of Patrick! What a cutie.
This one is a little blurry, but it's a classic Alicia smile.
I like this picture of Dave's mom, relaxed and visiting with her daughters.
The pool game between cousins was hilarious. They spent the whole time complimenting each other. "Nice shot." "That was so close!" "That almost went in." "Good try."
Elizabeth had to work on Saturday, so she came out Sunday to help finish up the crabs and play a few games of badminton. Somehow I didn't get any pictures of Kat, since she was in and out all weekend.
It was fun to watch Blaize getting into the game. Spencer had a lot of fun hanging out with his cousins. He was really glad he got to go with us. And I must say that traveling with just 1 big kid is SO easy. He even carried all the luggage as we ran to catch our connecting flight.
We had some extra time on the way to the airport Monday, so we stopped to see the hospital where Spencer was born.
He took a ton of scenery pictures. He loves going back to his roots.
