We took another road trip to Pere Marquette Lodge in Grafton, IL for a family reunion with Emily's mom's side of the family. This tradition started 27 years ago with Emily's grandfather Roger, his brother Owen, sister Ruth, and their children and grandchildren. We've been meeting every 2-3 years since then, gathering from all over the country to be together for a few days in the summer.
