A Few Good Quotes

"There is something so settled and stodgy about turning a great romance into next of kin on an emergency room form, and something so soothing and special, too." ~ Anna Quindlen

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.'" ~Mary Anne Radmacher

Family Vaca

This past week, Mom and Dad took us all on our annual Sunukjian Family vacation, this year to Lake Arrowhead. As always, it was great. We laughed, we ate (a lot), we played games, went to two lakes, went hiking, had an epic talent show and generally had a great time.

Highlights from the week for me were:
  • Playing games (see photo below of our poker night- we hit the table the first night we were there - we don't waste anytime in taking each other's money!)
  • Having so much time with the nieces and nephews (these pictures don't even begin to represent how many pictures of them there were, but since this is my blog and not one of their parents, I'm not required to put up every single picture)
  • The couples' dinner out - last year, my parents started this awesome tradition where they keep all the grandkids, give Peter a wad of money and all the couples get to go out together. It was a highlight last year and this year again!
  • Talent Show - I dragged Ian into doing an entry with me, called "Dance Off." It basically entailed really bad dancing and he was so good at it that I pretty much laughed the whole time instead of dancing.

Poker night - David ended up the big winner.


Family Photo - with two new additions this summer, we had to do one!

Hiking in Deep Creek.

We were responsible for Joseph on the hike and Uncle Ian watched him very carefully.


Us, before couples night out. Aww, we're so cute!

Look at those two! I couldn't resist posting this photo. That's Hannah, Sarah's girl, and Samuel, Mary's son. That's just one of the MANY boxes we used to cart our massive amount of food up to the mountains.
One last comment - for me, the big hit "special treat" wise was the fruit roll ups. What are those things even made of?
Thanks Mom and Dad! We had a great time!
