My brother Ronny & his wife Amanda had a new baby earlier this summer (Gwen) so we planned a trip out to see the family since I haven't met their 18 month old (Scarlett) either!

The first night we headed to Ron & Dana's and had pizza with my neices & nephews and my sister Danielle and her husband Jeff.  It was fun to see Paige meet her cousins.  They became fast friends and even had a game of flashlight tag with Grandma D!  And I got to hold my newborn niece so of course I was thrilled.

The next day, my sister n law Amanda was kind enough to watch Paige (Along with her 6 children!) so that Danielle, Jeff, Justin & I could go to the Feast of the Assumption.  We had a good time and even stumbled upon a cigar shop where they all bought cigars.  We headed from there to the Great Lakes Brewery where in addition the their beer I got to sample their homemade pickles.  They were this odd mixture of sweet and dill pickles, but I liked them.

After that we met up with the whole family sat Melt.  Justin & Doug (My sister Jen's boyfriend) participated in the Melt Challenge which involved them trying to eat WAY too much food.  My favorite part was Paige cheering "Go Daddy Go" while Justin was at the other end of the table and poor Doug was across from us. 

The next evening, we got to attend Gwens Baptism and party.  And while us adults went to see a comedy show/hypnotist , Amanda took Paige overnight and took her to her first Drive In Movie!  They even had some Glow in the dark fun!

On Saturday, DAnielle & Jeff hosted a pool party for all of the family to get an opportunity to meet Justin & Paige (And me for a few of them).

Sunday we relaxed with a little more pool time and we headed to Jen & Doug's that night. 

On Monday we were able to meet up with Amanda and her crew one more time for a park playdate.  Paige really had a great time with her cousins.  Monday night the rest of the family came to Jen & Doug's for dinner and my cousin Kayla did a few haircuts including Paige's.

The last day, we finished up by heading to Huffman Park and the NFL Hall of fame on our way out!
