Every July we celebrate summer with our annual family picnic at the lodge, and this year's was the best ever. Not only were our own parents and all three of our children with us (the girls are busy young adults with jobs and social lives, after all), but John's brothers and sisters were all there, too...traveling from as far away as Haiti! It was wonderful to have everyone in the Morrissey family together, happily eating lobster and corn on the cob. Jack had a blast showing off his new swimming skills for his Aunties and Uncles, and I was reminded again after seeing all of the Morrisseys in one place that my little guy is a genetic copy of Daddy and Uncle Mike (except for the curly hair, of course). The party was followed by a week of family vacation that we look forward to every year--swimming, relaxing, barbecues, board games, celebrating Lianne's July Fourth birthday, and of course very happy squirrel-chasing dogs.
Perhaps the most amazing thing about our stays at the lodge is watching our daughters and all of their teenage friends have such a great time. It's so nice to see teenage girls unplug from cell phones (well, almost), televisions and computers and just swim, tube, eat and enjoy the place that we love so much ourselves. It's a perfect spot for everyone in our family!
