I know I haven't posted about many things that happened in July, like the 4th, when most of our (Reis) family comes for the weekend and McKenna throwing the first pitch at the local Pirates game...I will get to that, I promise! But let me throw in a few pics of our Family Vacation! This is something that has been happening with my side of the family for many years now. We go somewhere every other year and this year we went back to Africa. Danny could not join us this year, he had a commitment at WSU to work in a Fellowship Program with the Psychology lab and really learned that it sometimes sucks to grow up and be responsible!! He was definitely missed!First stop...spent the weekend in Libreville at a very nice hotel La Residence Maisha...these are my CUTE girls!!

Move to Loango Lodge...seriously roughing it now!
Boating over to Akaka CampPte. Ste. Catherine Beach Camp. Unfortunately the wells had dried up and we couldn't stay there, but we went for a couple of day trips and had a private beach and a chef that came with us! Now THAT is what I call camping!!
The girls sea shell collection...they actually took a couple of live ones home...ewwwwww
McKenna and her Uncle Oscar. Last night at Akaka, boating over to a neighboring camp to see some local dancing.
