Dock time, booze cruises, baseball games like old times and lots of porch time all went on. Between the families there are three houses on the upper/lower roads at the river so we were able to do a progressive dinner on Saturday night as the main event.
The classic lake appetizers - clam dip, deviled eggs, kielbasa at the main cottage for appetizers, salads at another house, a classic BBQ at the third house and back to the main cottage for desserts. It all worked out really well and we all had the best time.
How fun! It's so nice you were all about to get together. Love the progressive dinner, too. Sounds like a ton of fun.
ReplyDeleteI love lake weekends! And a progressive dinner between all 3 houses is a great idea!

That's so sad that it's your last summer in the original house, but so great that all of y'all were able to get together for one final reunion! It really is amazing how difficult it gets to schedule time out with family and friends!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!! Looks like such a wonderful weekend altogether!! I love going to the lake :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun weekend! Love that your whole family gets together like this!
ReplyDeleteSo great that you were able to get your entire family together like that! We have a massive family on my mom's side, and it seems like everyone is always going in different directions, so it's nearly impossible to get us all together at once. I would love to organize a beach trip like this for everyone! It would be so much fun!
ReplyDeleteFamily is the best, and reunions of extended family are even better! We had ours earlier in the summer, I wish we would have stayed the weekend! But we had too many people, which I guess is not a bad thing! My friends and I want to do a progressive dinner, sounds so fun. Glad y'all had a good time.
ReplyDeletePerfection! :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a wonderful family vacation! How awesome is it that you have three houses close together?!
ReplyDeleteLooks like an awesome weekend! Family is the best :)

awww what a great time with sooo much family!! that is seriously the best!
ReplyDeleteNothing beats a weekend at the lake - glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice to get everyone together to enjoy a weekend of relaxing, good food and catching up? It is insanely hard to plan based on 29 different family members schedules but you pulled it off. I'm looking forward to my family reunion nex month which is just a day picnic but 200+ people. Eeek!
