After a nap at the hotel, we went to Dennis and Peggy's for a bbq. My dad and Dennis are cousins. Natalie is Dennis and Peggy's granddaughter via their daughter Beth and her husband Jeremy. We had a nice time catching up with everybody and exchanging bits and pieces of family lore.

I should probably clarify that it's a few branches up the family tree that really defines the raucous Balkus - Peggy and Dennis weren't serving moonshine or anything wild like that (I just like the "raucous Balkus" moniker). ;-)
