After our weekend up north over the 4th of July, we were headed back up three days later on Thursday for another long weekend with the family! It was just enough time to wash the beach towels, repack the bags, bake some goodies for the group, and be back on the road!
This second weekend was a little more crazy though - instead of 8 of us hanging out at the lake - we had the whole Parker side of the family there - 16 people in one house (Papa, Gaga, mem, dad, me, Ryan, Taylor, Jeff, Jen, Scott, Pam, Kayti, Adam, Stacey, Aaron and Miriam)! It was a family gathering to celebrate Papa's 80th birthday, and it was a lot of fun. :-D All beds in the cottage were filled, and three tents were set up outside to accommodate the group. I have a small family that is pretty well spread out, and we have not had all of us together in a long time! Taylor got to meet a lot of new people this weekend, and did so well with all the craziness!
There were a LOT of pictures taken, and it was hard to choose which ones to post! But here are a few of the fantastic weekend!!
Getting ready to have our family pictures taken...
Taylor was only looking at her uncle Jeff's camera while he was taking pictures...loving her uncle Jeffrey :-)
Gathering for professional pictures taken on our neighbor's beach...
Capturing our family pictures being taken...
Taylor was not very interested in smiling for the photographer - this is the family trying to get her to smile at the camera :-) (it didn't work :-))
At the 80th birthday celebration dinner at the Weathervane restaurant in Charlevoix, Papa with his cake
Taylor was great during dinner (and slept during a good part of it :-))

Lots of bike riding occurred!! (my c-dale gets to hang in the garage next to dad's :-))
A busy lake! Boyne Thunder Poker Run was going on over the weekend... looking at all the boats the night before the poker run
