4th of July - Van Essen Family Reunion

We hosted the Van Essen family reunion on the 4th and 5th of July at the cabin. We had around 50 people there. It was GREAT! So much fun was had by all. The kids loved swimming and riding the tube with their cousins.




Silas - the beach bum!


4 little 4th of July cuties. They got these outfits from Fay - and were just too adorable. They walked about the yard singing "Happy 4th of July" over and over! This is just one of MANY photos taken of them.

Fireworks! The kids are all eagerly awaiting sparklers from Uncle Ken. They had a lot of fun, until the ends dropped off and toes were burned?? Why didn't they have shoes on??

Fun,Family, Fellowship - a view of the crew at Sunset Bay (as we call it).

A few more snapshots from a great weekend!

I'm not sure what you call this?? But it was a lot of fun to watch them!

Thanks to all our family for making it such a fun reunion - same time, same place next year??
