Summer Vacation #2: Becker Blast
For the first time since the Stephen & Joy wedding two and a half years ago, all members of my immediate family got together for the very first Becker Blast. I have three siblings, and they all have spouses coming in from Ohio, Colorado, and the Philippines. Add in my parents, and that's a total of ten. For extra fun, my first nephew was also there, five-week-old Elijah Samuel, and he is just about the cutest thing you've ever seen. We all were together in one big cabin in a state park in Missouri, nestled in the hills between the Ozarks and St. Louis. We did some hiking, mountain biking, swimming, and even a little cave exploring. Here are some of my favorite pictures:

Wow! You have had 2 really great vacas! That is so great! :) I love that your WHOLE family could be together...how special! Hope you are both doing great with all your moving details!
Wow, Bro, that makes me feel really good about the photos I took! I bet you didn't even know I got that one of you and Joy walking--how romantic! Keep that romance alive. Also I like the brothers pics and the one of Elijah on your chest. Precious moments!
Also about your blog below--one more book recommendation you should add to your summer reading: "Endurance" by Alfred Lansig. I think you would really find that one of your favorites--it includes psych with inter-personal dynamics, the outdoors, survival, perseverance and leadership. A must read!

Hey Stephen! Somehow I stumbled upon your blog, and it's been such a trip reading your thoughts on life and books and whatnot. And I have to say - you and Joy are punks for not calling me and John when you were in Florida! We're excited to see y'all in Boston in September! Hope all's well with you.
