Parks Palooza 2010

This past weekend was one of my favorite weekends in a long time! We celebrated our annual "Parks Palooza" with all the cousins on my Dad's side! There were all 7 Grandchildren and 5 Great Grandchildren present! Husbands/Wives joined in on the fun which made for one eventful day! We all drove into Austin, TX and rented 2 Pontoon boats on Lake Travis. It did not take us long to drive the boats out to a cove, anchor up, and start swimming! We had a great time catching up and laughing at each other. Once we got off the Lake, we headed to my Cousin Danny's house. His wife Sally and him grilled burgers and hotdogs while the festivities continued. It was so great to be with family and not worry about anything! Our cousin Shelly even commemorated the event with official T-shirts! I know Grandma and Grandpa Parks are smiling down on us and happy that we all made the effort to be together as a family! I can't wait for next year's events...Swimming in Lake Travis
