There is something so easy about Connelly family vacation up north; no strict schedules to adhere to, the kids manage themselves (for the most part), family meals in, beach days, boat days, golf days, pretty carefree. Two of my favorite things include the birthday celebration for my dad, he turned 81 this year and we each find a way to make the day special outside of gift giving. This year we each captured icons from the past and told stories of how they shaped the present and will shape the future. My dad loved it. The other favorite is the late night bonfires. I feel like this has been a great way to learn about my siblings and their families as adults. We share stories, laughs, sometimes cries, but overall, we just share the time together. The kids were so excited to arrive and devastated to leave...until next year!
