In July 2011, we traveled to Branson, Missouri to meet our extended Steller family. We met my Uncle John's side of the family, a very rare occasion, as we have all grown up and away from each other. Uncle John and my dad James, brothers.

All of the Steller grandchildren were able to play together for the first time. Nicolas the oldest, and Trent in the back, Grant sitting next to Carys and Nathaniel holding the littlest Ava.

Every night we got to enjoy "happy hour" where the kids ran around and the adults could socialize. Here are all the Steller men, James with his son James, Uncle John with his son Jay.

Carys loves her cousin Grant, chasing him all over the place saying "Gant".

Pool time was the best time! We stayed at the Welk resort which had the amazing Splashatorium. Carys in her Minnie Bikini.

More people to play with! Uncle John, cousin Tracey came over with Ava, Uncle Jamie and Nicolas.

Watch out! Grant with a water rocket!

Uh oh, more horseplay! Papa James and Uncle Jamie.

Lauren trying to unsuccessfully take Jamie underwater!

Grant was quite the little aqua man, swimming for hours.

Nicolas and Nathaniel stayed in the water almost all the time too!

More family fun.
