McCready Reunion

This past weekend, we had a family reunion in Lawton, Michigan. Matt couldn't take time off work due to someone else in his department already taking vacation, so I asked my cousin Liana if she would be willing to drive up with me & the kids. She willingly accepted and we caravaned with her parents. We decided to split the trip into 2 days of driving because I don't think ANY of us wanted to drive the 10 hrs straight. On the way there, the kids did fantastic!! They pretty much slept on and off the whole way. We had a great time in Michigan with the "McCready-Wilson" cousins and getting reacquainted with everyone. We only get together every 2 years, so a lot has changed since the last time we saw everyone. I've included some pictures...if want to read more about the reunion and/or the family itself, go here. We were missing quite a few this year, but it was still a good time. The location was beautiful, the weather perfect, and the company was great. The trip back was a bit longer (mentally, I think it was the same time-wise) as the kids (ie. Bria) didn't care for being in the car anymore and didn't hesitate to let us know it. Tyler did well again, thanks to the dual dvd players our friends let us borrow. :)


Nephew Keegan...he'll be 2 in Sept.

My brother Joel, sister-in-law Shana, & Keegan

Silly baby girl

They were good buddies and had fun playing with

all the rocks and sticks that were around.

A "friendly" game of mini golf...I didn't

compete against my brother (I've learned

my lesson in doing that!), but my sister-in-law

played against him AND won...yikes. ;)

Cousin Josh Price & Bria

The Montini Crew

The "original" cousins (minus a few, there's supposed

She just turned 73! :)

Shana was not too sure about the zip line...

Bria enjoyng the lake for the 1st time

She's probably going to be our water baby; Tyler

on the other hand could really care less if he was

in the water or not.

This is where he ended up after being in the water

for 5 minutes...and this is where he stayed.

Charlee was a little social butterfly. Here

she was sharing a smile with John Faust.

Grammy remembered her role as "sleeping

baby holder". ;)
