Anker/McGahee/Rubin annual get together 2014

Just got back from a great long weekend with family.  It is always nice to see cousins together.   This year we met in Tradition, Florida which is not far away from Port St. Lucie. We even got to see Chelsea for a few hours on Saturday. We missed Andy who was at a fraternity reunion and of course my Mom. We had a lot of fun and were VERY busy, which you will see below.   Not my usual narration of each photo since there are 32!  And....I will have you know there were hundreds, those were just the ones that made the cut on the blog.  Enjoy!


We run a very tight ship. All the boys had study hour each day.  Not!  Just some light afternoon reading or in James' case, stacking.
 James was all about loving on Grayson.  Yet he was so gentle and calm around him.   They laid that way for a while and watched a movie.
 Bath time.  This started out with James "helping" to bathe Grayson, but you can see what happened next.  All three nights the boys bathed together.  Too bad Luke's bedtime was way before the "big boys" had to take a bath.  Maybe next year!  I couldn't choose my favorite, so here is a few.




 Then after bath, they would dress in their respective corners and then read together on the bed.
 On Friday we went to visit Poppi, Grandma Esther, and Great Aunt Rhoda. To the boys that is a great grandpa, great grandma, and great, great Aunt.  Very lucky.   Just watching a video on the IPAD while enjoying a black and white cookie.   You will see by the following pictures that Grayson was NOT having any photo ops today.   Too much going on, highly overstimulating environment.  Even models have their off days, I guess.




 Grayson loves tickles and when females use their nails to "tickle" him.   Aunt Jennie hopped on that train.  She has really good nails. :)
 Some pool time.  We thought we were going to get rained out the whole weekend, but the weather was decent enough to get 3-4 trips in the pool.  Grayson got to show off his swim skills and we all had fun relaxing and playing in the sun.

 Dinner table.   For the early birds.
 Uncle Bill got in on some of the tickles.

 Some more cousin love. :)

 More pool time!



 Gramps came to play!

 All the boys in the "sky pool."
 Smiley, happy Lukey.
 Hawaiian shirt photo shoot.   Luke and Gramps look happy about it, the other two, not so much.


It was a crazy busy but great weekend.  Can't wait to do it again next year!
