Lake Lure 1999

The California Coopers enroute.

By chance, we met Jerry's family while waiting for our baggage and the rental car.

Our first family activity was a picnic, compliments of Laurie and Beth.

Glen did some of the grilling.

The ducks entertained the younger set.

Most of the cousins splashed around in the creek.

Steven is a budding hydraulic engineer.

Megan took great delight in pouring water over Aunt Anne.

Lisa still likes to create sandworks.

Roger and Samantha.

Roger enjoyed pouring water on his victims.

We all took a guided boat tour of Lake Lure.

Grandma decided to celebrate Christmas in July.

Whee!

Lisa and Megan play catch.

There were enough cousins to play softball in the cul-de-sac.

Megan is proud of climbing up next to Aunt Anne and Roger.

Sam and Tommy help Sarah play the electronic handheld Monopoly.

Uncle Roger and nephew Roger.

Lots of Cooper kids. These are from California and Florida.

Where's Roger?

Here's Roger! He played this game in his carseat.

Here's the whole family! Carol had these matching shirts made up special for the occasion.

Mom and Dad.
