Before meeting up we made a stop at the Phinzey Nature Center where we happened upon a guided tour. This once in a month occurrence was a nice surprise but slow going with the several children who had come along. We eventually made it out of the man made portion of the swamp (created to help treat waste water) and met up with Isaiah's Cousin Kerry.
The weekend commenced at a fast pace, meeting an incredible amount of family in a short period of time. On Saturday this was Cousin Kerry and Cousin Jimmy who took us on a 6-mile walk along the historic waterfront. It was a beautiful day, the walk enjoyable and dipping our feet in the freezing water at the end felt incredible. Following that Kerry took us to a great pizza place where we got to see real life gypsies and then to see the statue of James Brown.
On Sunday we met Cousin Joann and her husband Joe at the lake and spent the day watching her kids Jackson and Juliet play in the water while all of us preceded to get badly sun burnt. In the evening we had dinner at Joann's and got to meet Aunt Mary and her husband Gene, hear her son Michael sing and play guitar and laugh as her daughter Christina smoked me at Just Dance.
On Monday we played with Jackson and Juliet before hitting the road again. This involved playing never ending games of War, Jackson locking Isaiah up in "jail" and playing with Kerry's daughter Erin and their dogs.
It was an unforgettable weekend and one we will remember for years to come.
