We were able to enjoy some great family time with Chris's brother's family. We had not seen them in about nine years and it was amazing to see how much all of the kids had grown up. We spent Wednesday night cooking out and watching all of the kids ride the four wheelers around the house. Jack followed right behind them and needless to say he is still resting from his big night. Their boys played piano and guitar and fit right in with our music loving kids. They spent a lot of time showing one another all of their talents. We had a huge jam session going on in the Mahnken house.

Thursday night we got together for the last time before they had to head back to California. We went to Gators for dinner and chowed down on endless varieties off wings. After that we came back to the house and gave everyone a little more time to get to know each other. We are really going to miss them. I think we have changed the destination of our next vacation. It looks as if our kids are going to force us to California to hang out some more. We are all looking forward to seeing everyone again.
