Family Reunion

So we made it to my parent's house in 2 days. It's a 24 hour trip.  We did 14 hours the first day, and 10 the second.  Baby Girl did really well.  She took a bottle great and the kids got along well for the most part.  Baby Girl started making this face on the second day.  It was cracking me up!
We figured out later that she has a blister in her mouth. It's on her cheek, right where her gums hit it.  She must have bit her cheek and now she keeps biting it. It still hasn't gone away, but the doctor said it should go away on its own. (It's been over 3 weeks now, though, so I don't know when!)
Our official family reunion was only Friday evening and Saturday.  With everyone's schedules, that was all we could get in where everyone would be there.  Friday night we had taco salad and a talent show.  We also got some great family pictures.

 

Saturday morning, we did yoga with Kieri and played some outdoor games, like "red light, green light" and "drop the hankie."  Then we had hot dogs for lunch and headed over to Jeff's for a pool party and hamburgers.  We did a campfire over there with S'mores as well.  It was a good time, though it went too fast.
Sunday was Father's Day.  It was nice to go to church with Mom and Dad and see all the friends from church. My good friend, Angie, was able to stop by in the afternoon and visit.  Her father passed away a couple weeks ago, so it was a rough day for them.  She grew up with me like a sister, though, and my dad was a like a dad to her, so I know it was nice for her to come over.  Jimi had us over for yummy, yummy pizza for dinner.
Tuckered out after church
On Monday, we all did laundry as my sister was leaving the next morning.  My brother and PC went on a canoeing trip with some other guys too.  They camped out and came home Tuesday.
After lunch on Monday, we decided to go to the park and play some baseball.  Grandma took the kids into the river too.  It was hot and they loved cooling off a bit. We stopped at McDonald's after for ice cream cones.  That evening we had a fun FHE, where Tink gave the lesson about Abinidi and we played Sharks and Minnows.
