Family Weekend

Last weekend was a great family bonding weekend for Anna and I.

I’m always surprised and saddened when people tell me that they don’t get along with their family and choose not to have a relationship with them.

Family is one of the most important parts of life.  I know there are circumstances in life that warrant a cutting the ties from close family members, but many times it is petty, ego-centric ideas that cause the separation.

On Saturday the Wencl women gathered for what we hope will be an annual event.  We had several college graduations, a birthday and a retirement to celebrate.  What better way to celebrate than to eat, shop, drink, eat, gamble, swim, sleep, eat again, and gamble a little more!

On Sunday the Baldwin family gathered to celebrate birthdays. 

The weather was beautiful both days and it was glorious and just plain fun.

Family = Fun = Love
