Summer begins in Ithaca!

Almost everyone - only two missing this year!
Our kids love traditions and on of their most favorite is 4th of July at the lake. Since we moved to Germany this has been the start to our summer since our school usually ends the last week of June!
The Matriarch - she makes it all happen!

Why wouldn't we love it here?
Steve's family is very accommodating and join us for several days of fun. Our days are spent by the lake: reading, relaxing, swimming, playing washers, catching up and of course eating!

Siblings together!

Cousins

Every year we have a washer tournament on the 4th of July. It was finally AJ's year and he and his cousin Katie took home the trophy!

AJ & Katie

Steve had tournament t-shirts made this year, with an awesome design by our niece Veronica. Everyone has a number based on when he or she joined the family.


As the cousins all head towards college and marriage, our nieces and nephews are starting to add little people to the mix. Our niece's daughter is currently the superstar but she'll have some competition next year with three new boy cousins!

Of course we brought her a flamenco dress from Spain!
