Nick and I get up early to run errands and get his oil changed before making our way to the family reunion in Lake Park, GA. We got to the 4-H camp at Twin Lakes around 4:30pm where we unloaded the truck. We then went around the camp introducing Nick to some of the family and trying Robin, Mom, and Dad. We also met up with Angela and her boyfriend Mike and said hey and decided to go swimming in the lake. After swimming we went back to the cabin and changed back in to dry clothes and went to the dining hall to get ready for dinner. After dinner Angela, Mike, Nick and I decided to go out to a pub because Mike wanted to watch the Stanley Cup hockey game. So we went to this place called CJ's Pub and I had a drink called a Jolly Rancher which was amazing...I loved it...and Nick had a drink and smoked a cigar while we all watched the game. We came back to the camp and went to bed. Saturday we got up for breakfast around 8am and went to the dining hall around 8:30am. I wasn't feeling too well so Nick and I headed back to the cabin to take a much needed nap. We didn't get back up until lunch time where we went to the dining hall once again. After lunch we went to the cabin to change into our bathing suits and we went swimming again for a little while. I started not feeling well again so we once again went back to the cabin to change into dry clothes and lay down again for a little while. After a while we got back up and went to the dining hall to hang out with family. Then it was time for Mexican Night dinner. After dinner, we sat down with Mom, Robin, and Aunt AnnaLynn to play Phase 10. We didn't get to finish our game because soon it was 8pm which meant it was time for the icecream social. So, we set everything up and served to everyone before enjoying the icecream ourselves. After the icecream, we sat back down to try to finish our game but got distracted by people leaving and cleaning up the dining hall around us. Nick went and got his fireworks out of the car and we took them to the dock and shot a few off with some of the other kids at the reunion. Nick was having a blast, he was just like a little kid in a candy store. After the fireworks, we went to the screened in room and played a new game of Phase 10 with Dad, Mom, Uncle Eli, Aunt AnnaLynn, Robin, and George. We never did finish that game either, but we had a crazy blast and finally went to bed around 1:30am. Sunday morning we got up cleaned the cabin and then said our goodbyes to everyone. We then left and I forgot my cell phone in the cabin so Nick and I had to go back and he had to squeeze through the fence for me because they had already locked the gate. Well, he got it for me and we then headed home where we rested for a bit before having to run off to Nick's parent's house so he could do some work for his dad. A fun and eventful weekend where we get to reconnect with family we only get to see maybe once a year. It was a great one!

Today I started my volunteering exclusively in the pediatric physical therapy gym at Phoebe Northwest today. Of course I already knew that I loved it, but I especially loved being only in the pediatric are because I've grown to love the kids so much. I am now volunteering there once a week just to help out the ladies in the peds gym and because I love it so much.
