No, it was not a gathering of Ronald and the Fry Guys. It was the McMillan family reunion this past weekend in Mountain View, AR. My dad is one of five siblings, and each year the five of them and their families gather somewhere for the weekend.

Most of us stayed at Sylamore Lodges just north of Mountain View. David, Anna, and I shared a house with my parents and my brother and his family—that’s six adults and 2 babies in one house—but it was plenty big, and it served as the gathering spot for the rest of the family. On Friday night we all had dinner at Angler’s White River Resort. David and I both had catfish and shrimp. Then everyone sat outside at the lodge and visited for a while. On Saturday everyone picked their own activities. David and I mostly hung out at the house, but we went into town for a little while in the afternoon, poked around a few shops, and picked up a Tommy’s Pizza to take home with us. Saturday night everyone had dinner at our place—fried chicken, barbeque, and plenty of sides. Sunday morning we again gathered at our house for breakfast before everyone headed home. Some pics:

Here’s me, David, and Anna with my brother Andy, his wife Jennie, and their daughter Addison. (Yes, those are matching outfits.)

There were three babies—all girls. Here’s me with Anna, Jennie with Addison, and cousin Leslie with Hayden.

Addison enjoyed her swimming pool on Saturday afternoon!

Anna got some time with Aunt Jennie, whenever Addison wasn’t looking. :-)

Three little blonde cousins—Reece, Cydney, and Micah:
