This past weekend we had a blast getting to see everyone on my dad's side. Every summer, my parents and my dad's siblings plan a "DU", or "Destination Unknown" for my grandparents. They hop in my aunt and uncle's car, and they don't know where the family reunion will be until they arrive. This year, DU was at my parents cabin. Here are a few pictures thanks to my family members (I didn't take any, so I stole from them!)

I love my cousins! We have so many memories together. |
|
While there, we celebrated my Grandpa's time in the service during WWII. We all had been "bugging" him to write down stories from his service to our country, and he finally did :). He brought them along and my uncles read his memoir out loud to the family. It was REALLY cool. |

My cousin Nate...the ONLY boy cousin! Grandpa wrote his memoir addressed to Nate as he carries on the family name. |
