One game that was played twice was Axis and Allies.
This epic battle between Chris, his brother Jason and his cousin Kevin, lasted for eight hours, which is a record in A&A history (at least for these three). In the end, the Allies prevailed.
It was enjoyable to learn new games that everyone played in their own homes, it was a lot of fun.
Each day we had a family activity, this night was family history night - it was great to learn about our family history through Susan. She brought our ancestors to life through stories she's learned while being passionate in genealogy.
Another event, we attempted to accomplish, was the traditional walk around the lake. Each year we walk around the lake, it takes roughly 2 1/2 hours to complete with stops on various docks to enjoy the scenery.
In the beginning we had majority of the members of the family.. yet they soon turned back around. In the end, only one couple prevailed - us. Sadly, we did not document this momentous occasion, we were a bit tired. But it was great and the tradition of walking around the lake lives on in the Neil family.
Aside from family activities we also had dinner together each night, it was nice to get new recipes and to cook together as a family.
