Moon Family Reunion: August 2005

Our family reunion this year combined several events in a two day time span.

First we got together for dinner at Botticellis, then we went home and celebrated Blake's and my birthday. It was the first time we'd been together for our birthdays in several years.

Then we all went in to the Bronson park to celerate Steve's 50th birthday!

(Below) Jacob introduced everyone to a game called "Nuke-em". It's like volleyball but you catch and throw the ball over the net. If you miss the ball you go out. The first team to have all players go out, loses the game. It was pretty fun!

Happy Birthday Marie & Lana: August 2005

We had to go back to Iowa in August for a court case with which I was involved. It worked out perfect because Marie and I got to celebrate our birthdays together which we hadn't been able to do since I moved. We had a get together at Town House with a few friends.
