Reunion

I am always gooshing over how much I love my family.  But, I do.  I love my little immediate family.  And I really loved seeing all of my extended family last weekend.

I always go back to the same point about how losing a loved one really puts a new perspective on how much you love and should show love to those around you.  I have tried so hard to let those in my family know how much I care, because I do.  I really did feel how much everyone loved each other this past weekend, despite our differences. 

Here are a few photos.

I was terrible at getting pictures of extended family.  I now WISH I had more!! Ahh! 

Parker and Mason

Brady who found some steering wheels and couldn't be happier.

A picture from my phone...not too good.  Brady in spinning mode with Chad and Chaele.

Our kids did this a lot in the hotel.  Brady now thinks all luggage carriers are for riding.  I am not sure how the hotel felt about this, but it kept them entertained.

Dunk tank.  That's my dad climbing to his turn on the dunk tank.

Ella and Marlee on the swinging bridge.  This was definitely not my favorite.  I believe in stable ground.
