New Jersey Oct 26 - 31 2018

Ah, our beloved Mahlon Dickerson Reservation.
We made 304 miles in about 6 hours...our best time this trip, but it was just about all interstate travel.  Just as we were nearing the park, we heard a nor'easter was due to hit that night/next day.  It was quite stormy during the night, but thankfully the worst was further south of us.
 
Our dance card was full the five days we were there: Friday evening, Adele asked us over for pizza.  Cousin Carol and her daughter Annie came, too.  Saturday we had a nice family get-together with cousins Joe, Barbara, Nelson, Matt,  Michael and Adele at Carol's house.  Sunday evening we met cousins on my father's side for dinner at Big Jim's in North Haledon.  Monday Michael and Adele treated Carol, Nelson, and me to dinner at Lake Hopatcong; Bob was feeling sick, so he stayed at the trailer with Roscoe.  Tuesday we went to the cemetery and then visited our friends Plish and John in Bloomfield.  That night, we were again at Adele's where her son, daughter-in-law and their little boy came to see us.  Wednesday, we sadly packed up and again hit the road home.  Not many pictures this time; just about every one was camera shy (not to mention I forgot my camera, too.  Sorry Plish and John).
Joe and Carol
Michael thought he'd look good in Joe's hat.  He was right.
My "Konecny Kousins" round the table from the left: Brian, John, Amanda, Sherri, Morgan, Alexa, Madalyn, Adam (hat),  Ray, Alina,  Kelly, Dean, Judi, and Anne.  Judi's mother, (also an Anne) passed away just the month before. 
And, John, my father's nephew, here with one of his twin daughters, Amanda, sadly passed away December 31.  I am so glad we had a chance to see him.
Here I am with the stepping stones Morgan (12), Alexa (9), Madalyn, (8), and Alina, (5)
