On the Fourth of July, hours after returning from California, we packed up the car and drove to Louisiana. Neal's entire family was just hours away all week, but since Neal had already taken a week off to be in Paradise with my family (thanks, baby), we could only join his family for
one short day of fun in the country.
His brother and his wife did a great job organizing a reunion with immediate and extended family, most of whom I had never met. I'd heard plenty of stories about most of them, but it had been years since Neal had seem them, too. We all went to a resort called Wildwood, near the Texas border, where there was lots of water, lots of good food, lots of laughs, and most importantly, lots of cousins to play with. I got a few pictures:

Neal took the kids on his brother Jeff's sleek and speedy boat, then on the tube being pulled very quickly by said boat. Picture from Jeff.
Parker, all set.
Off they go.

Uncle Jeff just *loves* that little Moe.

Looks like big time fun! You guys are having a great summer. You get to blog about Maui while I blog about sanitizing toys. Hmmm...something's not right here ;) just kidding. I really am a homebody and have enjoyed a summer of not traveling after 3 summers of moving and 2 cross country internships.
