Fam time!

Just home from a great family vacation at Brook's house in Chicago (Evanston). 

My two oldest, Brook and Gabe - - 

And Gabe's girlfriend, also Brooke. No confusion there! Both lovely ladies.

and sweet old Max was around, keeping a low profile.

Gabe's Texas family, the DelaSantos, also stopped by for a few days. Gabe and Eric played college football together and have been coaching football together pretty much ever since.

Lots of time was spent on the beach including a great display of fireworks on the 4th.

Later in the week, the Hill family joined us. The Littles don't get far away from Uncle Gabe when they get a chance.

Must have on any good summer vaca - S'mores and swimsuits.

Thank you to Brook for hosting us all! We're all hoping this will become an annual summer holiday tradition.
