Corn Roast

What a fun weekend we had with family in Ann Arbor! The sign said at the end of the driveway said it was the 19th annual Corn Roast, although the tradition is older than that. However, the tradition of it being at the Rochette's is now 19 years old.

There were around 50 of us there, most related to Great Grandma Deming, the matriarch of the family.

She invited a clown to come who painted faces and made balloon animals for the MANY 2nd cousins who were there.

As this is an annual occasion, we Beckers aren't always able to attend, but we always remember it fondly and wish we could join in the fun when we aren't here. What a treat to spend some time with Tom's side of the family; aunts, uncles, cousins and their families. We truly love them and miss them.

Yesterday, we dropped some cousins off at their home and enjoyed ice pops before going home.




All in all, a great time with family!
