Last week we traveled to Camp Waltman Lake, north of Grand Rapids, Michigan, for the annual gathering of the Kentucky Reunion!

What is the Kentucky Reunion, you might ask? To make a long story short...my parents volunteered with the Mennonite Central Committee soon after they were married, and lived in a house with other volunteers. They grew close, and have since met every summer for a "family" reunion somewhere in the US. After many marriages and children adding to our numbers, we have over 40 people in the group now! The KY Reunion week is always a highlight of the year for us, and this week was no exception!

| Yes, we are a crazy bunch... |
Camp Waltman Lake was a beautiful setting for our group. At the camp we swam and boated in the lake, organized an "adventure race", had several tournaments (corn hole, ping-pong, etc.), worshiped together and, of course, played lots of Werewolf!

We also took several day trips during the week...
...to Millennium Park, where there was a nice beach:
...to a petting zoo full of familiar and exotic animals:
...to a dairy, where we toured the farm and drank our bottomless cups of milk:

| Styling with our red sanitation caps! |
...and out for ice cream one evening!
It was a special treat to get to spend much of the week with Caroline and Andrew!
At the end of the week, we continued the tradition of waving each other off as each car left. As always, it was hard to say goodbye, but we are already looking forward to next year!
