Family Reunion in Ohio!

We had an absolutely fantastic time in Ohio for our family reunion. We were in desperate need of a vacation. And though it was only 3 and a half days long, it was exactly what we needed. We drove a great rental up there to meet Luke's parents who were driving back from California. On Saturday evening, Catherine (Luke's sister) flew in from her summer project in Berlin. Our weekend was full of fun, eating, chilling, eating, laughing, eating, and more eating. But that's how it is when the Mehaffie family gets together! It's always great to see the amazing history that the Mehaffie family has there. Mike's family farm is still there, Mehaffie's Pies stores open, and a Park named after Luke's uncle Clint Fultz. It was hard to come back to Raleigh but fun to be packed in that van. Unfortunatley for everyone else, the pregnant one had to stop at least every 2 hours for a potty break on our 10 hour drive. They were all very gracious and patient though. Here are some picture highlights from our weekend:

Luke got a haircut at the same place and by the same person as his first haircut ever. Mom and Dad said that he didn't move an inch, to which Luke responded that it was because he didn't want the man to cut his brain open. Oh Luke! Gammie is the spunkiest happiest grandmother you'll ever meet. She's turning 90 this year but she's sharp as ever!
Aunt Marilyn, Aunt Charlene and Uncle Mark are always fun to see. We get to see Marilyn and Gammie 3 times this year!!!Aunt Charlene wanted to use our spiffy camera to take a picture of us. Our glowing is not the pregnacy or the love....it's the heat. It was HOT!!!One of our many meals. This was after church at the Cobblestone Village Restaurant. It's the "prettiest" restaurant I've ever been in and the food was yummy! Our last big adventure: We went canoeing. I've never been before but it is a tradition for Luke growing up. I LOVE getting to experience things like this with Luke and I had a great time!

It really was a great weekend and like I said, it was hard to come home. Next year, if we go, there will be a little babyboy with us!!! Below is a slideshow with more pictures of our weekend!
