At the beginning of the month, we went to Fontana Village in North Carolina for a family reunion (my Mom's side). Luke and I got to spend nearly a full week there relaxing. Josh had to work and go to a seminar in Fort Worth, but he was able to join us for the first few days. We had a great time and Luke got to meet more family, including his Great Grandpa and Mummu (Finnish for grandma). Anyone know how to say great grandma and grandpa in Finnish? One of our favorite things to do was to go the pool and float around in the lazy river. My mom and dad bought this little turtle for Luke to float in and he loves it. It keeps him mostly shaded and he can enjoy the water.
all the playing in the water tires the little guy out
We went and visited the Fontana Dam, one of the many dams built by the TVA during WWII, Luke slept through most of that trip :-)

The best thing about the trip was getting to see my grandpa play Table Tennis. I had heard stories from my Mom growing up about how good my grandpa was at table tennis, he once was the champion of the upper peninsula (or the 'UP') of Michigan. He's still got the skills at 87 years of age!
