Still Updating about Summer

I’m here…honestly I am so behind on blogging that updating the blog is overwhelming and most nights I just sigh, and decide to wait for another day. But with birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays happening I know I’m just going to get further and further behind.

After visiting Billy’s family in Lancaster we headed down south to a family reunion with my side of the family. Every year my family gets together (immediate family) and we spend a few days together. This year we spent a few days down at a beach house in San Clemente. It was a lot of fun with every day being spent in the sun.

On Tuesday we went kayaking and paddle boating. It was a lot of fun and a great workout.

The reunion was from Friday to Wednesday. Billy and I and Mindy’s family stayed until Friday morning. We then headed up to Mindy’s home we spent a couple more days before Billy headed home and the girls and I stayed for another week. Dani and Aunt Mimi.

Billy’s mom Martha totally rocked on 4th of July fun. The grandkids kept getting surprise after surprise each day. She made it so much fun that Ryan and Dani were sad to leave. 4th of July included a pinata and fireworks.
