Family Weekend

We were at Good Spirit Lake for the weekend with Elaine's family.  Elaine's parents and all the brothers and sisters were there with most of the family.   Of the grandchildren only Maryanne and Mike did not make it.   We stayed in the large cabin with 4 couples, and others were in trailers and tents. 

This is the view from the back of the cabin toward the lake.  Normally it is a long way from the cabin out to the water, but with all the rain and flooding this year the lake was very high and up near the cabin.  
 We did lot of visiting inside the cabin because the weather was cool, windy and wet.  Here is Elaine's father showing the little great-grandson how he does push-ups.   Elaine's mother is in the back looking at an album made in honour of her 80th birthday.

 Here are the parents and brothers and sisters on the back deck of the cabin. 

    Several people had left but this is a picture of most of the ones still there Sunday afternoon. 
 
It was a very enjoyable weekend even though the sun did not come out until Sunday afternoon when we were getting ready to leave.  Mainly it was a good time getting together with family.
