While in the Northwest we’ve been fortunate to post up at my parents house outside of Portland and drive in the Kia to gigs in the area. Best of all we were able to swing a family reunion, with siblings visiting from Iowa and Washington State. We’ve had so much fun with nephews and nieces.

The whole crew!

Here we are playing wiffle ball with my nephews and Dad. My daughter Dez is hitting the ball!

No one has ever accused me of being athletic, so my Dez was quite pleased when Mama joined in the game! 😂

I even managed to hit the ball!

Dez and cousin Kora relaxing at a cabin we went to with all 14 of us. Our little dog, Zoe, went along as well!
