On Saturday we headed to Mark and Gaila’s for the 2nd Annual Family Get-Together. The weather co-operated with sunny but cool temperatures. There was lots of food, games and catching up to do. Here are Raiden and Darin playing some giant Kerplunk.

Claudia and Gillian playing giant Connect 4. Claudia, Angela and I made the Connect Four in a few days. Kerplunk was made on Friday night.

There was no shortage of munchies and appetizers.

The giant yard games turned out to be a big hit. Taking requests for next year.
