Hi Bob, Sadly, it is the same with my families. The attendance drops every year. Some of us cousins are trying to get something going with the cousins at the lake. We seem to be the ones that think family is important. I hope this will get the younger ones involved and maybe we can build it up again. At least this is our attempt to try something.
