Lots of Updating

I thought that I would be good with this blog thing since I am always looking at other people's blogs and since I had the WHOLE SUMMER OFF! But no, I find myself way behind. Must be the procrastinator in me. Here is a run down of what the Parksons have been up to.

The Dixie and Clawson Burgess Family Reunion in Pine Valley

Way back on June 20th, we traveled to Pine Valley where my grandparents have a home. Pine Valley has always held a special place in my heart. It is my home away from home, my sanctuary, my breath of fresh air. It is so gorgeous AND PEACEFUL up there and I feel so fortunate to be so close to my grandparents and I am able to go and enjoy their place anytime I want. Dixie and Clawson are my grandmother's parents (my great-grandparents) and they were one of the first families to settle Pine Valley. I didn't get very many pictures (just of my cute family of course) but we had TONS OF fUN. My great-grandparents had 5 children and each of their children and 4 or more children (does that make sense?). And there were great-great-great grandkids. There were a lot of people! We ate, we talked, we played games, and then we ate some more.
