Once again mom organized a summer Crown family reunion at Carlouel for all the cousins and extended family. We had a great time - she had fun games for the kids and we always love eating down at the beach and playing in the sun with family. Mom had put the kids into two teams for the games, divided by ability, but the big girls saw the list and decided they all wanted to be together so instead the oldest were teamed with the youngest versus the ones whose ages fall in the middle. I'll let you guess who won the games - perhaps the girls should have left things as they were!
**Thanks to Mom and Stacy for sharing their pictures, I hardly took any on my phone **
