MacKay Family Gathering

Well, if we can't get together once a month we'll try for once a year... We manage to have one BBQ with my whole MacKay family once a year in June. It seems to be a lasting tradition. With everyones crazy schedules and busy lives, we're lucky to fit this in and get most everyone here. This year we even had a surprise visit from Aunt Sherrie and Uncle Ken from Iowa. They were here to pick up my cousin Scott from BYU (since he graduated). We celebrated Aunt Sherrie's 29th birthday. She's the one in the lower left corner in the white shirt and black pants... She can pass for 29, right? wink wink
Everyone had a great time catching up, visiting, dealing with throw-up from one of the kids (yes that nasty flu bug is going around and will probably hit each one of our homes). The kids played on the playground and dug in the volleyball pit, making sand castles. They each took turns blasting at the pinata. The kids were having a so much fun!
Sadly the night ended abruptly for us. Joe was working so it was just me and the kids. Kayla was crossing the monkey bars and fell, using her hand to break her fall. We still aren't sure if it's broken or just sprained. Joe wrapped her wrist tonight and we'll check it out in the morning.

Wow that was fast. I didn't know that Kayla got hurt. That is not a fun way to end things. :(

I'm so jealous the my parents and Scott got to be there. Wish we could have joined in the fun and caught up with everyone. Hopefully Mackayla heals quickly. Not fun to have a broken arm at her age in the summer.
