Family Reunion 2012

Saturday 16th:  Lots of travel through Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina and finally South Carolina.  Phew!  Every time we make the trip (ok, this is only the 2nd time, but within 7 months of each other) it wipes us out.
We met up with family at my brother’s house and then after dinner, we moved over to one of their friend’s vacant house.  It was nice to have some extra space for the kids.
Sunday:  FATHER’S DAY.  It was nice relaxing day full of naps and family.  Poor dad made Swedish Pancakes on HIS day, mmmmm!  They were good!
Monday:
Having a hard time.  He wanted to get in to the RV’s SO bad!

Stayed at Crazy Horse and the kids had a great time.  Would it be any surprise that it was pouring rain that night for dinner?

Today we had a great time.  We swam, went down the 50 foot water slide.  We hung around the campground….and it rained for dinner tonight as well!  Go figure! Southern Corn Boil (shrimp, crab, sausage, corn on the cob, potatoes).  FUN TIMES!

We took a day trip to the Great Smokey Mountains. Stopped off at the Sugarlands Visitor Center. My sisters are soooo funny!  Besides wearing matching shirts….

Dad even got in on the action…pretty funny!
