Well, we are back. We had so much fun this weekend. We went to Lake Junaluska (above Asheville & near Waynesville) with Corby's family.... all 22 of us!!! (My father-in-law couldn't make it because he was out west on a job, but his mother "Grandmaw Haneline" joined us this trip). We rented a huge house on the lake. It wasn't directly on the lake but we had a pretty view & plenty of stuff to do. The weather was wonderful... even a little cool if you can imagine a break from the 90+ heat we've had here in Shelby. We went up Friday night and came home after lunch today. All the cousins had such a great time playing together and MamMaw Wanda had some great games & activities planned each day. We played a family trivia game that was hilarious...the "in-laws" had a set of questions & all the siblings had a different set of questions. All of the questions pertained to members of the immediate family to see how much we actually knew about each other. My mother-in-law brought stuff for all of the daughters & daughter-in-laws to make fall wreaths... we got to use our crafty side & made some pretty decorations for our doors. We played a relay game, a taste test with the men against the women, sling-the-pudding game where one person took chocolate pudding & slung it with a spoon to the opposite side to see who could get the most in one persons mouth (we laughed really hard a this one...fortunately, I was the slinger and not the receiver), all the kids made t-shirts with all the cousins hand prints, and we played games. Each family took turns to cook a meal so we didn't have to take 5 cars to a restaurant and ask for "a table for a party of 22 please!!!" We played games, relaxed, played pool in the game room in the house, we took walks around the lake, canoed, paddle boats, tennis, shuffleboard....and a few other things too. Uncle Corby even taught Grant to ride his bike there. We are all exhausted from staying up late every night, but it was worth it to spend time with family. I've got so many pictures you can just check out the link to my snapfish album. Click on the album Lake Junaluska.
