Memorial Day Picnic Up North

All of us who were able gathered at my Sister and Brother-in-law's lovely home up north.

They have lilacs! 

The boys had a great time playing baseball together.

It takes concentration to be a great pitcher!

For some reason (my mind is slipping?) I did not get a picture of the enormous amount of delicious food we had.

Oh, my.

What with it being my and THGGM's 41st anniversary today, I pretended that I did not have diabetes and ate like there was no tomorrow.

 This deck always makes me feel like I'm in a tree house. 

I love it. 

At my house I would have to sit on my roof to get that same effect. 

It would be difficult to balance my plate of food up there. 

 The baseball game lasted a loooong time.

 Not much of it looked organized to me, but these three had fun!

And there is a lot of room to roam, for those not playing a game of some sort. 

Pretty views everywhere.

This game is called Cockroach Poker.

Seems to be a family favorite.

Or maybe it's just gathering as a family that is the favorite.

And how GREAT it was to just be OUTSIDE.

May 27, and it is finally feeling like winter may be done.
