There's just nothing like being around family.  And the getting-together happens far too little in my book.  But, a couple weeks ago we made the trek to Maryland to visit Jason's sister and her family.  They just moved into a new home complete with woods for exploring and "cricks" running through.  It was a perfect playground for the kids.

The kids played for hours on end... Us adults laughed until our sides split... And Aunt Amanda fed us all very well.  It was a wonderful, but too short, trip.
