Mengel Fun at Mark's

The great thing about going up to Western Mass is that we get to see both sides of Emmet's family; we both started and ended our family weekend at Emmet's Uncle Mark's rectory at Holy Name Parish in Springfield. 






The girls got the grand tour of the rectory and loved exploring all the rooms ( Somehow we managed to visit twice without breaking anything or leaving with bruises or tears). Emmet and I got spoiled with lobster rolls and clam chowder with Mark and Betsy on Friday and on Sunday, the whole Mengel clan met up again for lunch and beers and a quick party before we all drove and flew in our separate directions. Although we missed Emmet's Nana very much this year, I know she was smiling down on  her big Irish family. 



 Conor, Emmet, Paul, Zach, Fritz and Mark


Also around the table that day we were lucky enough to have Betsy, Allison, Kit, and Katherine. The girls were in their glory with all the hugs, kisses and attention and were out cold before we were even on the highway home to Bethel :)
