We kicked off the reunion with a circus show downtown. A clown, some contortionists and SUBWAY for lunch, then to Mandys house for manis/pedis. It was super fun to just hang out, chat and laugh like turkeys, cackle cackle cackle.....lol
Mandy made cookies that were to DIE for....so yummy and I think we ate all 6 dozen. This year we began a new tradition of spotlighting ancestors, which was so cool to hear stories about them and see pictures. I decided to start another blog for our family keeping the spotlights and photos for the generations that follow us.
An early morning stroll (umm trudi tried to tag it a "hike") at Floyd Lamb Park. It was such a nice (hot) morning. We walked around the lake and then had a picnic breakfast. Ryan kept the geese away by chasing them and Nana said it wasn't nice to scare them...lol
After the park we went back to our house for water games and then to In-N-Out for lunch.
We had a SURPRISE that Sam, kids and I had kept from the rest of the family. We drove them to an AMAZING pool that we had rented for a few hours. It was SUPER fun...slides, cliffs, swim up bar, a bridge, volleyball court and relaxing patio with the biggest sectional sofa Ive ever seen.
We finished up with the buffet at the Silverton, where Sam pulled a fast one and got us in through the VIP line so we didnt' have to wait two hours. His good looks seal the deal every time.....
Saturday morning we all attended Mandys father in laws funeral. Garth Abbott was a great man and so kind to our family. We will all miss him dearly and know he has gone ahead to do great things on the other side. After a really nice family lunch we came back and finished up our family spotlights, had a talent show and hung out for the rest of the night.
It was a really good time......relaxing, laughing, eating and sharing some tears together. We're already planning for next year and maybe looking at an out of state location....hmmmm??? YESSSSS!!!!
