weekend lens {family reunion}

This last weekend was a fun filled one. We started the weekend out with some more blueberry picking. :) Drew and I woke up early on Friday morning so we could beat the heat. But first, we started the day right with a breakfast of leftover blueberry pie. :)

And then headed back to our favorite blueberry spot to pick some more berries.

Saturday we headed to Chicago for the start of the Barry Family Reunion. Not too long after we arrived we were greeted with 'Hewey, Dewey and Lewey' (AKA Uncle Gary, my Dad, and Uncle Bruce.:) with boxes of Gene and Jude's hot dogs.

We totally took over the hotel lobby.

Jake enjoying his Gene and Jude's.

A little card playing.

And some Scrabble.

And more cards. :)
