Monument Avenue

 Clark and I drove down monument avenue to check out this now famous corner of town. 

Day at the Beach

 

van der Horst family Reunion at Lake Oconee, Georgia

We had a wonderful week. Lots of fun playing in the water and good time to connect with family.

Jen and I made this collage of the group. Unfortunately, Bret, Chrissy, Lance and Logan could not join us for the trip, but they sent us some pictures and we included them in this family photo.

Good looking family

Cooking for 26

We made a sausage and shrimp gumbo- two large pots full

We made this spumoni ice cream cake to celebrate Grandpa's birthday.

On Sunday, we had a worship service together. Grant is giving his talk here to the family. Everyone participated in some way.

I brought along one of my guitars for playing- one of my favorite Sunday activities.

We brought our fishing poles. I didn't expect to catch anything, but boy were these fish biting.

Jen caught the biggest fish all week. She really didn't think she'd like fishing, but I think she actually had a great time.

Lots of time to play games.
