Alas, I only took three pictures on Friday - and this is the best one! It started out rough for us because Dave and Brennan were both sick. Some of us moms walked to the park with a slew of kids in the morning, and we all went to Kristen's house for lunch, jewelry-making and ping pong in the afternoon. Then everyone went over to my parents' house to Skype Ben and Barbara, who weren't able to come. I didn't make it there because I was checking on the sickies at home. And low and behold, Dave was all better! This was great news, because then he was able to join us for the evening's festivities. We hired babysitters for the little kids while everyone 8 and up (or so) went to the Melodrama in Oceano. It was a ton of fun, and my boys kept asking why we don't go there more often. They loved it from the moment we were in line to buy our food and all the actors sang to us and made jokes. After the play we lingered in the parking lot for awhile, saying goodbye and not wanting the reunion to end.
Most people left Saturday morning, but Emily's family stayed a couple more days, and Ellen and Jason left their kids for a week so they could go to Philadelphia and clean out their storage unit. Those of us remaining went to Morro Bay Saturday afternoon.
The younger kids played at the park while the older ones caught hermit crabs in the bay.
There's Chloe's little whale spout pony tail. She usually pulls it out as soon as she can, but it keeps her hair out of her eyes in the meantime.
After a quick stop at the Shell Shop (we can't go to Morro Bay without going there), we drove over to the sand dunes by the rock and took pictures of everyone jumping off. This was great fun, and we had to pull ourselves away to get back in time for dinner.
Check out those long legs!
Our little beach babies!
And my favorite jumping picture of the day...
Have you ever seen Nathan looking so crazy and relaxed? Yay for vacations!!
