So, my mom, who loves having her family together, decided to have a family get-together. We went down to the lake and started to have a grand ol time.
It was really windy, being right on the edge of the lake and all, and luckily, I brought a kite! Carrie bought me two kites (with an extra 500 feet of line) for Valentine’s Day, so I brought them along. The first thing I did when we got there was let one of the kites loose. It went up immediately (I didn’t even have to run). I let it go to the end of the string and then I tied it to a garbage can so I wouldn’t have to hold it. I also brought along my camera and but didn’t get any kite pictures. Here are a few pictures of the whole event.

This is the "beach" near where we were chowing down.

The grub: grilled hamburgers and chicken

My dad, the cook!
After a while, my older brother, Wayne, showed up.

Big brother Wayne decided to show up!

With the wind blowing, Kaleb was cold when he got out of the water.

This is my nephew, Kaleb. I told him he could ride on my shoulder if he posed for me

Here's Kaleb and me. Well, our shadows.

He took it, too! Right out of Kaleb's hand!
