Reunion Weekend 2012

One of our most favorite weekends of the year! The second weekend in July we got together with all of our college friends for our annual reunion. We went to the Mitchell's again because lets face it...they are the only ones that can house all of us. We had 7 adults and 8 babies! We got there Thursday afternoon and went out to eat dinner! After dinner the kids HAD to swim and went to bed way too late! We visited for awhile but lets face it... we're old and definitely don't stay up as late as we did in college. Well, they don't stay up as late as they used to. I always went to bed shortly after midnight. :)

Friday we spent all day outside! I loved it and so did my kids. I think Trent even had fun too. (He doesn't love being outside since he's out so much for football/track). This pool is like a resort. It's unreal. Kate and Kendall were both great swimmers and were swimming so well. I had hoped Madison would see them and get the courage to lose her puddle jumper. By late afternoon she was finally there. She was swimming to me and EVEN coming up to take a breath. It's amazing what friends can encourage you to do. Fun now, scary when they become teenagers. Friday night we grilled out and swam until the kids went to bed. As always, it was great catching up and visiting with everyone. This year was extra special since Michelle was back!

Saturday morning we had breakfast and headed back to the pool for a little bit. We came in for lunch and then got cleaned up, packed up and headed out! 

Our group shot and family shots! We had the camera set on a timer so most of the time none of the kids were looking. That's ok. At least we got a picture! 

 Our family!

 The Dane's- Ashley, Cooper, Kendall and Randy

 The Mitchell's-Kate, Hannah, David, Amy and Natalie

Kendall and Karsyn - Kendall loved the babies! Karsyn loved the attention she got from sweet Kendall! She will make a great big sister for the 2nd time soon. The Dane's are in the process of adopting a baby from China. Hopefully she'll be with us next year when we get together. We can't wait to meet her.

We so appreciate everything that goes into David and Amy having us for a weekend. Amy does an amazing job of being the hostess, even when she just had a baby. We had tons of desserts, big breakfasts each morning and tons of snacks. Thank Yall for EVERYTHING!!!
