Last month everyone was able to get together in Illinois for a family reunion which turned out to be so much fun. It has been a very long time since we were all able to be together at once-except Michael of course, we definately missed him. We started in Chicago hanging out at Scotts house and moved on to Indiana Dunes National Seashore where we were glad to stay in a nice beach house. We spent time playing games and hanging out on the dunes and at the beach. From there we drove down to Cuivre River State Park and did a little camping. And yes we were all able to camp-the kids-Jackson and Eliza, pregnant Erin, Grandma, everyone. I have to be honest, I have missed camping seeing as how it is not so fun in hot humid Florida. While at Cuivre River we did some hiking, playing in rivers, crawdad hunting, and of course cooking over the campfire. Tim met us in Cuivre River and it was pretty fun to see the look on Jackson's face when he saw his dad show up. Classic, I wish I got it on camera he was so excited.
