Remember Father's Day?

Now that I've finally caught you up on all the happenings around here, I'll go back and catch you up on a handful of other things that have happened in between all the job/moving happenings.

Take, for instance, Father's Day. Remember that??

Father's Day is always a huge family gathering on Ryan's side of the family. Many years it easily reaches 50-70 people, and that doesn't even branch out too terribly far on the family tree! There are a lot of people on his side.

This year it was much smaller. Some people had other commitments and some weren't venturing forth yet. So even though it was small, it was still a good day.

Before we even got to the cabin, we stopped by the cemetery to see Nita's stone, which had been set the day before. Allen had been very intentional about all the elements on the stone and was so happy with the way it turned out. And I think Nita would be very happy with it, too! I know she would have loved how carefully he planned it all.

And then we headed to the cabin! Ryan helped on the grilling crew, as he usually does. These guys do an amazing job every single year, and they were on their game this year, too!

My parents are always invited to the festivities, and partway through the day, they came by so we could spend some time together.

There weren't as many pictures this year because most of the group pictures were missing most of their members. But it was still a good day! (And there was still time for a nap when we got home!)

Happy Father's Day, again, Dad, a week and a half later. The blog is now caught up on the last holiday before the next holiday! :)
