We left Thursday morning for Otter Creek. Two hours into our trip we had a radiator hose blow off which caused our engine to heat up. I was a little up tight worring about our engine. Luckily everything was fine. While we were stranded on the side of the road we noticed Three little Wreaths with Three little rubber duckies. This was a accident that happened whithin the year. You could see how the car must have veared off the road missing the turn, going threw and shearing off the trees just before impacting the mountain side. This poor family must have lost three of their children. This really impacted me! It put everything into prospective. It's easy to find yourself in such a hurry, expecting everything to go as planned, irritated and frustrated when it does not. A radiator hose! I am so grateful and so fortunate to have my life, all my children, my husband and all my extended family and friends.
This was really fun and much needed. It's been to long since we have spent time together. My grandma stuck it through and roughed it all. I heard some of the grandkids and great grandkids talk about how funny it was to see how determined she was to catch a fish. How cool is that for the kids to sit at the edge of the lake fishing with their great grandmother.
My favorite part of the trip was the cousins. I remember the days with my cousins, they are precious memories to me. The cousins had so much fun this weekend. I'm sure this weekend will be part of their precious memories when they are adults.
I enjoyed my visit with all my Aunts, Uncles, Sister, Nieces, Nephew, Cousins, 2nd Cousins, Grandmother, Mother and Father, my in-laws and my very sweet friend Malissa and her cute little family and last but surly not least my kids and husband.........I love you all.
We had alot of Family show up Saturday for the Pot Luck Dinner. It was alot of fun and was really yummy. I really like this pavilion, and plan on having a family/friend reunion there again. Thank you all for showing up. I love you all.
