I thought you would enjoy these pictures of our Traditional Family Weekend we had on July 15th. As always, it was fun, and at the same time, spiritually uplifting. Fr. Fongemie talked about vocations and courting. Fr. Allen talked about the role of the Enthronement of the Sacred Heart in the family! They were fantastic conferences!
The volleyball was lively, the dance was lovely, the Talent Show was great! Maybe you can make it next July??

Our youngest girls had been fooling around with an act for the Talent Show but we weren’t going to fuss with it because of the practicing and all that needed to be done to polish it up. We were too busy, so it went on the back burner. Well, it was looking like we were not going to have enough acts for the Talent Show. So I asked to see this act and was surprised how good they were at it! I guess they didn’t need too much practice at………bickering! See for yourself:
Loved the whole weekend! The girls skit was a riot!
A very lovely weekend, so much looked like so much fun!!!! 😀 The girls were very funny at the end!
Very very nice, congrats on another wonderful time!
That’s very brave getting up to sing and do a skit! Very good 🙂
Thanks for the wonderful pictures. We were able to come to the family weekends a few years ago, and enjoyed them very much. I am hoping we will be able to come again sometime in the future, right now we have some family concerns that keep us close to home.
Love the pictures. I emailed you back about the rosary. Thank you very much!
