When Family Celebrates Together : : The Snapshots

June gathered family far & wide together

real close

cozy close

for priceless days that melded one into the next

 from hither and yon they came & we shared close quarters 

& played loud inside & out

joyfully eating great big messy meals around a table too small

there always seemed to be a trail of footwear

in the oddest places

but far surpassing all the beach fun & the games 

the blazing firepit & the bike trail jaunts

was my niece's baptism at the hand of her dad,

 in the bright blue bay on the sunniest afternoon ever

& my sister's grandbaby, the sweet girl they call MK,

 didn't miss a single beat,

 soaking in the joy of family doing life together,

even if only for a few short days
