It's a Family Thing...

This last weekend was the annual family gathering at my cousin's in Pt. Ludlow. We were only able to go on Sunday, and despite a very misty, foggy morning, it finally blew clear in the afternoon.  Much food, fun, gab, hugs & howls! Always time out for the family photos--at least those that are there at that moment.  It's kind of a moving target, as the arrivals & departures go on for days. Karen & daughter Lindsey arrived from Florida early with sweet little Jack--the newest member of the clan at 7 months.
Polly, the matriarch, with the cousins,

the cousins' kids,

the cousins' grand-kids (the point & shoot is very brief for this set!),

...and, of course, the folks who have chosen to be part of this zany crowd!
Kathy is so incredible to host the event--so much work! But we all reap such precious benefit from those hours together--reminiscing & story-telling while making new memories all the while. Doesn't get much better: wonderful water view, renewing close ties & getting the endorphin levels up!
