A visit from the "other" Weissers!


A few days after returning from NYC Fred's brother Bob, his wife Megan & their two adorable little boys Robert & Mason came home for a visit. They live near St. Louis so dont make it home very often. This was actually only our second time meeting Robert & our 1st time meeting baby Mason.

We all went camping together for the weekend & had a ton of fun. We had a awesome campsite right on the pond. Great for fishing, but not as great for sleeping w/ the bull frogs! Bob, Megan & Robert (baby Mason stayed w/ grandma) rented a cabin that was right next to our site which was great.

Ethan showed Robert how he can fish. & Aunt Megan caught her 1st fish! She was very excited!






Saturday we all went to the beach, which was about a mile down the road from the raod from the campground, for the families annual gathering. Family came from all over, Bob & Megan from St. Louis, The Knox family from Pennsylvania, Aunt Gigi from Florida, Uncle Sam from NYC, and the reat of us didnt have to travel more than 45 min.


All of the Servello family. Grandpa with his wife, children, grandchildren, & great grandchildren!

All of the Weissers.


And just our family!



Collin LOVES the water!

We celebrated both Bob & Robert's birthdays. Since Robert is a HUGE Cookie Monster fan, I attempted to make him a cookie monster cake. We ended up having to cut the party short, because the park attendents worned us of a sevear thunderstorm heading our way. We all packed up quick & we went back to the campground. Fred's Uncle Sam joined us camping for the night. Everyone took naps & relaxed during the storm, which didnt end up being all that bad. We enjoyed a nice dinner & campfire together.



This trip ended our vacation. We had a great week between NYC & camping.

Jen, what a great vacation. It's so nice to get together with the family. All the cousins playing was nice. It's hard when everyone lives so far away. Fishing looked like it turn out well. Love the cookie monster cake. Yum!!

What a great family reunion! Collin looks sooo big, I can't stand it. Can't wait to see you guys next weekend! BTW...I am equally impressed and bewildered that you were able to even consider packing white pants for a camping trip! That would be like sacrilege for me!! You are too good :-)

Looks like a fun time! I love getting together with family members, especially those that we don't see often. I have relatives that moved to Montana from CA and it's great getting together with them, when we have the chance, which unfortunately isn't very often.

Great job on the Cookie Monster cake! I'm sure everyone enjoyed it!

Oh, how fun getting together with family. Such a great time catching up and the little kids making new fond memories of time spent with relatives. Looks like everyone had a blast.

What a fun family reunion Jen! I love all the pictures-you look so amazing for staying at a campground. I love your hair-it always looks fantastic-but then again you are a pro! The kids are beyond precious. I love the pic of Ethan on the front porch by the wooden swing! Glad you guys had a great vacation. I also did not get a chance to comment on your last post! Love all the pictures of Ethan-the one from 3 months is one of my all time faves-I remember it posted to POLP! Happy Birthday dude!
