We had a bit of a Manes family reunion this weekend in Ohio. We were missing Pete's sisters Patti and Jane and their families. Our girls could not attend either......but much fun was had by those of us who were there. We ate wonderful food, drank wine (tea for me) and every evening we sat around the fire pit. We caught up on each others lives, enjoyed the antics of the little ones and just genuinely enjoyed each others company. We had excitement - a fox killed a neighbors rooster the first night (a sound many of us will not soon forget) and Pete and Mike played firemen and put out a fire in the wood pile on the last night. Nobody can accuse the Manes' of being boring. Connie took the ladies on a tour of Yellow Springs, a wonderful new age type of town close to where they live. I enjoyed it so much that the next day Pete, Nick and I went back. We also toured Mike's sports facility at Cedarville University where he is the baseball coach. What a neat place that is! It is very well designed and thought out - you can tell that the students are definitely their priority. I will add more pics later.
Tom and Andy playing a bean bag game. Notice any similarities?
Esther, Michelle, Pete and Mike playing bocci. That is the backside of Kelly, she was busy chasing Michael who wanted to get the balls.
