Maryland Reunion 2018: Deep Creek and the Homestead July 22-29

 Our reunion started at our house in Maryland.  Kara, Luke, and their children drove from New York, Erika and Tyler flew from Boise, James and Tammy and three children flew from Seattle, Dan and Meg and Claire live nearby, Julia and Matt live nearby in Virginia, and Andrea was just home from her mission to Canad.

                                    Cousins got to know each other: Audrey, Alek, and Claire
                            Here we are just after church.

         We stayed in a great cabin with everyone in Deep Creek.  We rotated which families cooked each night.   We all played games together in the evening. One day we were on the beach together and rented canoes.  One morning the girls and kids made jewelry while the guys went golfing.  On our last day, we luckily secured a boat to go tubing for a half day. 

 When we got back Julia had coordinated a shower for Erika and Meg, who were both expecting in September.  Julia made decorations, games, and dessert, and we had a fun girls party for them.  We also tied a quilt for each of them that night.

 We all attended an Orioles game together!

                               
      It was great for Dave and I to have the whole family together for these special memories!
