The Nicholas Clan is Sublime...

We just got back from the Nicholas Family Reunion (July 24-26) at the Girls Home in Mantua. It was such a blast. Ellen and Boyd were in charge this year and they did an awesome job. I haven't been to the Girls Home for many years. It's a great place to have it because there is lots of grass (not a ton of shade), but the kids can play and not get as dirty, unless they play in the fire pit! The first night Lucas and Kody both slept terrible! Kody was traumatized by the tent and ended up sleeping with me both nights. I took him to the dr.* last night and he as a sinus infection. That would explain his unhappy little self.

Our Theme Song

(sung to Take Me Out to the Ball Game)
Take me to the reunion
Take me to the Girls Home
Let's bring some games and we'll play all night
Sing karaoke until morning light
Cause it's root root root for our family
The Nicholas clan is sublimeFor it's 1, 2, 3 days were here at reunion time.

[*As a side note... I also learned something new at the doctor. The color of snot (green/yellow = infection, clear = cold) is false. If it lasts more than 10 days clear or not, than you should see a doctor.]
