Rosenstock Reunion

We were recently reminded that we haven’t blogged since June 2. To all of our faithful readers (all 12 of you), we apologize. We could say that we’ve been busy, but isn’t everyone? Our excuse this time is that we were away for a bit.

We are so blessed to have a comfortable, relaxing and welcoming retreat less than three hours away during the summer. We always look forward to our weekends at the Chasey’s lake cottage in Hudson, Indiana. Mini-vacations any time we want. It had been a while, though, since we had planned an extended vacation away. Leave it to my family to plan a reunion in Florida in June. Yes, it was really hot.

Hot…and also really great to be together. Being somewhat distanced from immediate family, I’ve begun to really treasure the moments we get to reunite. This particular reunion consisted of members of my mom’s side of the family. Florida, Ohio, Georgia, New York, North Carolina and Michigan were represented at Smuggler’s Cove.

My grandparent’s used to own a condo at Smuggler’s Cove, so it was only appropriate to go there. My earliest memory of Smuggler’s Cove is when I almost drowned in the pool at the ripe old age of 2. (Yes, I remember it.) I was so preoccupied with having to go to the bathroom, I forgot to put my “swimmies” back on before I jumped into the deep end. Oops.

Thankfully, there were no traumatic events that took place during this particular trip. In fact, the week was just great. All of it.

The whole crew…minus Erin and Jaxon :(

Nana celebrated her birthday during the week. She got an iPod Nano…Nana’s Nano :)

The way Ross and my cousin, Harrison, got along was adorable.

Jaxon is my cousin’s son (still not sure what that makes me…second cousin? first cousin once removed?). This is what he did every time a ball was thrown in his direction.

The Rosenstock women on the pontoon my Uncle Mike rented for the day.

Couldn’t resist sunset pictures on the last night.

Us. :)
