Every July, the family gathers for the 4th of July and a visit for a couple of weeks following. The Taylor women put together another kids camp, this year, Olympic-themed. Mostly there was tons of cousin time and kids running in and out all month long. An overflowing house is hectic, but very fun.
The remodeled bathroom and the newly installed downstairs fan and large mirror all received approval by the guests -- almost. The problems they discovered will be ameliorated this month.
