Ralls Family Fun

I think it was technically Kascak family fun? But either way, it was fun. We went to Aunt Judy's place in southern Ohio for an outdoor weekend and small family reunion.

If I had to sum it up in one word, it would be HOT. Oh my, was it ever hot. It was 102 degrees on Saturday. It really wasn't too bad except at night. Evie was a sweaty mess when we put her to bed at dusk. And she drank about a gallon of water in the evening. We stayed cool by hanging out at the lake, swimming and going for boat rides.

Matt went out fishing with the boys the first morning and caught a big fish of some sort, which he then ate. Outdoorsy.

That's Annie flying through the air in her pink lifejacket. Obviously, there was no hesitation. Just straight flinging herself off the floating dock.

All of us except Laura. We missed her. I'm pretty sure she didn't miss us from her air conditioned home and place of work. :)

Kelly and Evie. Thank goodness for Kelly. Evie loved her, and Kelly was so wonderful to hold her and play with her while we were jumping off the boat with the big kids.

Sitting at the campfire. Hot, smelly and tired. Successful camping weekend.
