Fridays at Gramma Mylin's

The past few Fridays we have been spending a couple hours at Gramma Mylin's. This week I remembered to bring my camera, and I had such fun with the sun, the children, and the old buildings.

Chicken Corn Soup Reunion

biiig weekend!!! as long as baby doesn't come today (had an episode of contractions last nite but they seem to be gone now), we are headed to lancaster tonite. the big ticket event for the weekend is the rhoads chicken corn soup reunion on sunday. it's the 3rd sunday of every august, no invites sent out. just like a migration, about 150 family members roll into cousin marty's farm between 11am & noon. some come earlier in the morning to help cut corn (enough for a huge kettle of soup). some come the night before & stay down at camp. that's always a good time, but i don't think we've done the overnite since we had children. i would've sprung for it this year, except for being 8 1/2 months pregnant! but we plan to visit the folks at camp on saturday evening. i'm very excited for the reunion. it's always a blast. not much volleyball or horse riding for me this year. apparently God's making the weather just for me - s'posed to be 75°! (it's usually about 95°.) it's always so good to see all the cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. and to see my children live the same experience i did & my dad did. i really like that. jaime's coming in from wisconsin, dan's coming in from texas... grammy's getting quite the diverse representation! ~bec.
