My in-laws died within 4 months of each other in late 2003 and early 2004, so times like this are special for all of us because we never know what a day may bring forth.
There was volleyball for those who had lots of energy and ring toss for those who didn't; walks on the beach, swimming, music, laughter, reminiscing, a big BBQ buffet supper and in the evening several of us played a board game called *Cranium* ... I hadn't even heard of it before ~ have any of *you*??
Below are a couple of photos of the beautiful sunset that evening

Lovely - everything.

Wow, those photos are amazing. Sounds like a fun day. (o:
So glad that you had a nice reunion...
Yes, I have played Cranium but it has been awhile...

Dear Dallas,
Yes, I have heard of Cranium - it is a fun game, haven't played it though.
I am so glad you had such a nice visit. When friends and family from far away visit, well it makes the time with them so precious!
Your pictures are breathtaking :)

Diane,
Yes, they truly are!

Sharon,
I took so many that evening that one of my brothers-in-law chuckled and told me they're like that every night! Well, for me, I only see them once in a blue moon looking like that over the water and I was in awe :o)

Lady Jane,

Michele,
Thanks! It was a wonderful reunion!

Deby,
Thanks! It was the 1st time any of my immediate family had ever even heard of *Cranium* ... I'm not good at the *charade-like* clues that have to be acted out :o)

Mari,
Thanks for the comments on my pix!
Cranium was pretty good although as I told Deby above, I'm not good at *acting things out* in front of groups, even if they are relatives :o)
Trust you all have a wonderful week ahead,
Dallas
What lovely pictures!! It is so nice to have these special family times! Our son has Cranium ~ but I'm not good at acting out type games either!
Blessings,
Sharon
Dallas, what beautiful pictures! It sounds like a wonderful time. We have the game, Cranium, and it's a lot of fun. Thanks for visiting my blog yesterday. :-)
Sharon,
Thanks! I know what you mean about the acting out the phrase :o(
