We just returned from the first annual Gillispie family reunion. We stayed in cabins at Lake Cumberland for two nights and enjoyed the mountains! We fished, hiked, rode horses, roasted marshmallows at the camp fire and kept our eyes open for wildlife.

The Baker family vacation was awesome this year! (Or maybe it was a Baker, Davis, Gillispie, Hampton, Ragland family vacation?) The weather was nice, the house was packed with family and friends and we couldn't have had a better time! We'll post more beach pictures soon.

Jenny received the Commonwealth Diploma from Henry Clay High School on Friday, June 5th. In the fall, she will attend the University of Kentucky to pursue a career in teaching. We are so proud of Jenny and all her accomplishments! She received the University of Kentucky Presidential Scholarship and an additional scholarship from the department of education. She also won the Lexington Philharmonic Guild Outstanding Band Award and she plans to participate in the UK marching band in fall 09 (Go CATS!). Congratulations on completing this significant milestone!

The Dance Centre's annual spring recital was Friday, May 29th - Sunday, May 31st. Lindsay and Gary performed as partners in a tap dance! We knew Lindsay and Gary were dancers, but I bet no one realized Gary looks great in a top hat!! Very impressive dancing, and it was a great turn out for the Dance Centre. We are very happy for your success! John tried his photography skills and snapped this shot of the 'tappy' couple.

Congratulations to Robbie (Rob?), Joey, and Crystal for graduating last weekend. Here is a link to a folder of pics, and here are a few good shots from the weekend.
