July!

Jo and the kids came up from Mississippi for our annual DuPont family picnic and "KOUSINS AT KNOEBElS" family reunion. We were saddened that Anthony and Angela could not bring the Chicago gang this year. A great time was had by all. Pictures coming soon..Knoebels Groves in Elysburg, PA is the country's largest free admission amusement park. My family agrees that it is one of the finest amusement parks we have ever visited and that is why we choose to make it a yearly tradition to have our family reunion at KNOEBELS.

June Birthdays in Mississippi


In June, we went to Mississippi to Jo and George's. Everyone came down to help celebrate Poppa's 60th birthday! We usually get together in June or July at Nanna and Poppa's house to celebrate all the birthdays but we did it in Mississippi this year. On May 31st George turned 38years old and that started the multiple celebrations. Next was Abby who was 9 on June 13th, then Uncle Ron was 33 on June 16th and Poppa was 60 on the 17th. Nanna and Poppa had their 39th anniversary on June 21st and Vincent was 4 on the 27th! WHEW! That's a lot of celebrations! We have a short break and Anthony turned 36 on July 11th. Here are some of the photos from the gang at Mississippi.

VINCENT AND LEO AT SAND AND WATER TABLE
Do you remember the freedom of being NAKED!
After the sand and water table, we stripped them down to clean them up and they had a grand time running around the back yard naked!
OUCH ON THAT SLIDE!


THERE'S THAT SMILE, VINCENT!
