McConnell Mini-Reunion


Grandpa's cousin Kathy was visiting Chicago from Arkansas so we had a mini McConnell family reunion at the lake. 

 Great-Grandma came up and Uncle John flew in from New Mexico. 
 Once we wandered down to the pier, Calvin quickly found an abandoned ball
 and balls must be played with in Calvin's book. 
 It quickly ended up in the water but that didn't stop Calvin. 
 In he went, clothes and all. 


 Calvin had a small audience, which made continuing to go in the water more attractive and fun. 


 He, of course, changed it into a baseball game with a random toy he found in the sand. 
 He even got Grandpa to get in the water in his clothes, too. 
 After finally getting cold, we headed back up. 
 Lots of people saw this picture on facebook and thought it was cute, which it was. It was just rather nerve-racking for me. 
 Because while he wasn't pulling hard on her hand, it was enough wiggling that I was kinda afraid he might make her lose her balance. Luckily, that didn't happen. 
 Calvin wanted to show Uncle John his big wheel, or motorcycle as he calls it. 

 Very impressed, I'm sure. 
A nice little family gathering!
