Letters to Lyla and Lottie

We had the Gambles Family Reunion of the 24th of July.  We had it coinciding with the Swan Lake Centennial  Celebration.  Swan Lake is 100 years old! They celebrated big with a parade and gathering.  I don’t think Swan Lake has seen that many people in, well, maybe ever.  Lyla had a ball with her cousins.  She ran and played all stinking day long.  It was sure fun showing Lottie off.  The grandkids rode in the parade (minus Lottie) in Grandma’s jitney.  Lyla rocked it.  We went to a firework celebration that night which was also fun.  Lottie slept through the whole thing and Lyla clung to me in terror the whole time.
