muckers, rummy royale, and the whole gang!

i'm exhausted. this past weekend i spent my time with my family in lbi. it was a blast! mom, dad, sisters, brother-in-law, and grandparents all rounded up. we stayed in an amazing house that was huge and very old and cute. we were only about a one minute walk from the beach. we played games like paddle ball and muckers on the beach. at one point it was my father, two sisters, and myself all playing paddle ball at once. it was great. i don't remember the last time that happened. it was so much fun, especially when i beat my dad twice at muckers, once with grandpa and once with my mom. we took some good walks, had some good conversation, played lots of rummy royale, went on the "boardwalk, i won the jackpot on my second try, swam in water that was 5 degrees warm (not joking either), hung out on the porch, and ate lots of good food, all while having a ton of fun. i hope that next year we can all go down again, and bring even more family members with us (believe me there was plenty of room!)
