Rowland Family Reunion at Rend Lake


This weekend we went on a trip to the Rowland family reunion. We where going to fly but the weather didn't look good so we drove in my dads car instead. For dinner we stopped by sonic and then we were off! Late at about 9 o'clock we needed some gas so we stopped and got some gas. There was a McDonalds attached to it soooo we got some snacks, I got a snack size McFlury and it was good! My dad and mom got some coffee and i asked them why because it was so late and my dad said it was because it sooths the pain of hearing me complain about the long trip, whatever that means! We finally arrived at about 12:20 so we where all pooped so me and my little brother, Max the pest went to bed. My dad and mom just had to have some wine. In the morning we went to breakfast so we could talk and catch up with all our cousins and aunts and uncles. After breakfast we went to the Lincoln museum and looked around and after that we had lunch and then swimming and had a blast! Our cousins Ben and Melissa have a really cool boat. We went boating and I went tubing it was a blast! That was awesome. After that we went swimming again then I played with my cousins! That night we had our big family dinner and it was really good. We had BBQ pork sandwiches and the highlight was this Italian cake that is always soooo good.

The next morning we headed out to see some different family. My great grandmother Periman's side of the family get together for breakfast in Mount Vernon which was just up the road. It was time to eat the final breakfast at Ryan's. I rode with my Uncle Bill and Aunt Suzie so I could spend a little time with my cousin Grace. We were so late it was more like brunch but it was good anyway! They have a area where you can make your own ice cream sundaes with your own toppings. Piled high. Then it was time to hit the rode to home! I have to get some pictures from the Periman breakfast.

It was a fun weekend. Here are the pictures from the boating. Thanks Melissa for sending them.
