Lewis Family Reunion part 1

One month to the day of my mother's death we held our Lewis Family Reunion.  Mom had planned it all.  She was looking so forward to this event.  Ben and Summer were coming with their family from Japan.  We'd ALL be together.  We were going to take a family photo that included everyone.

We had rented a couple houses up on Lake Texoma and were going to boat and spend a couple days on the lake and playing in the sand.  

She was LIVING for this.  One of our greatest sorrows was that she couldn't have been spared just a few more weeks to have been able to be with us.

 Summer and I found these shirts at Old Navy--they were a MUST and a surprise for Grandpa!

Fun on the beach at Lake Texoma:
 
 
 
 

One of the fun activities planned by Grandma was for the girls to make pioneer rag dolls....
 

and the boys were to make sling shots.....

 One evening we acted out stories from our ancestors.  Those were fun.  Another night we enjoyed a bonfire and campfire songs.....
