Those of you who know me know that family and my cousins are a big part of my life.  We have “Family Camp” every other summer.  I haven’t been able to make it to the last two so was happy we could this summer.  I not trying to brag here but um, I’ve got the best family!  There is a lot of this going on –

And we always seem to have photos of kids playing in ditches –

I also love see all the now great-grand kids being with each other –

We stayed in the 100 year old lodge at the YMCA camp.  It was so funky and perfect for a reunion! The views where just stunning.

I actually didn’t take as many photos as normal because, as many of you know, one of my photography heroes is my cousin Chet.  He had his camera out so I figured I was off duty.

I got this one of him though that I love –

(Side note: If you have been following my story on Chet – so far he is cancer free!  Scans this week to make sure.)

Also at the Y camp, they also have this great Craft Center which I could live in!  You can paint a silk scarf, weave a basket, paint your own pottery… on and on.  I made a belt!  It’s pretty sweet if I do say so myself.

I am so thankful for my family …..and my new belt!  Ha!
