Reunion!

We traveled to Indiana over the weekend for a reunion with Pat's Dad's side of the family. There were around 34 of us gathered together and I didn't quite know what to expect but all of the time was easily filled and it even felt a little too short! We traveled up late Friday night, had a family breakfast at a park, followed by a friendly game of kickball. Then we stopped at the cemetery to visit Pat's grandparents and had about a half hour back at the hotel before everyone met back up at a different park. The kids went on about a million carousel rides (Pat and I did maybe 5 or 6), a mini train ride, played a lot of Tag and we all had a friendly putt-putt tournament. We stopped to get some frozen custard at a spot that is special to the family before we crashed back at the hotel late that night. 

The winning kickball team!

We had to stop at Walmart to get some water and this subway guy asked the kids if they wanted a picture. Of course! Paige was a little miffed that he didn't give her a coupon though.

Carousel Ride!

This carousel is extra fun because as you go around you reach out for rings that are ready in a chute. If you get the brass ring you earn a free ride. 

Also, train rides were outside.

Chocola was apparently the drink at past reunions but had disappeared for awhile. It was found in time for this year and there were a lot of excited people!

Cousins!

A couple more pictures before we got in the car.

This, of course.
