Summer's last hurrah: The final chapter

Game on!
Pool party
Grandma's happy place
The ride home
Well, the reunion ended with a bang and we made it home at midnight on Saturday night. Just enough time to catch our breath since school started on Monday!

The last two days of the reunion were just as much fun as the first two. We took over the local pool (literally--the entire pool was rented for just our family), played some kickball, enjoyed some soft serve ice cream from Doug's brother's new 400pound new toy, had a family meeting, and raided the local snow cone shack (owned and operated by Doug's brother who was hosting the reunion) before heading out of town. It was a very quiet ride home in the car with lots of reflecting on a great trip!

We are in charge of the reunion in 2010, so any suggestions on how and where to host that size group are welcome!!

Haley, I just read your "cake" comment on my blog...didn't I tell you that you'd be able to laugh about it someday? : ) Your comment made me laugh too. Love the pics you posted of the reunion. We had so much fun. As far as yours goes...anywhere and anytime...just know that we're coming!! Love you guys! P.S. Did you hear that Twilight the movie is now Nov. 21st. See you at Thanksgiving!

It was great to see you!! The pictures bring back a lot of fun memories - we really did a lot. No wonder everyone was exhausted. Julie and I think we should all (the girls who love Edward) get together in November and go to the movie! :-)
