July 4th in Vermont.

My trip to VT last week flew by. It was nice to see family that I hadn't seen in years on my mom and dad's side. Our cabin is probably not big enough for 3 kids, 5 adults and a dog but, we made it work. We also hosted a BBQ for 23 until a small hurricane blew across the lake and rained us out on the evening of the 4th. Jenny, Sarah and I also hosted our 2nd annual Luigi Night (pizza, crazy hats, mustaches, Italian music and self-asigned Italian names).  There were all sorts of other activities but, the primary reason for the big gathering was to celebrate the life of Bob Tucker ("Uncle Tuck") who passed away earlier this year. We ate ice cream (one of Tuck's favorite things to do-pints at a time), shared stories...many of which were new to me...and enjoyed catching up. Oh...and my smallest relatives were SO much fun to hang out with!! xoxo Here are a few pictures:
