We drove down a day early to see some old friends...
This is Paige. I was her nanny for a very long time and she is very special to me. Now she is 13 and all grown up. I hadn't seen Paige in over 4 years and she is such a beautiful and sweet young lady now. It was so good to see her!
And of course we had to get together for a quick visit with the girls from USU. Kristin, Dre and her adorable boy, Luke, Laura, and me with my 3 kids (I was obviously distracted by something in this picture). We were able to do a little catching up and reminiscing. We missed the other girls and hope to finally get a reunion together soon.
Thursday we went to SeaWorld with Grandma Ehorn-Foy, and my sisters with their families. Look how big our family is getting and look at all the strollers! It was like a parade walking through the park. (We missed you, Joel!)
Here are the older kids. They had such a good time together going on all the rides and seeing all the shows. We lost Grandma and Brooklyn for a few hours, but other than that, no major disasters.
A side note about SeaWorld...they have really made things more family friendly which we all really appreciated. Air Conditioned nursing rooms with rocking chairs throughout the park, and child swap so we didn't have to wait in line on the Atlantis Ride. Tallan threw his $18 SeaWorld hat down under the ride, and they even went down and got it for us. We were very happy with our visit that day!
Friday we played at the beach all day!
That night we had a yummy BBQ on the lawn to celebrate my Grandma's birthday!
(From left to right: some of the "greats", 80 candles on the beautiful cake,
we each made a square for this quilt for my grandma and my mom put the whole thing together. Isn't it amazing?!, my grandparents with their kids (minus my dad, of course), grand and great grandkids, the "greats")
Saturday was more of the beach. The kids couldn't get enough!
Saturday night was a very nice dinner and program for the anniversary celebration. The theme was Polynesian, and we couldn't get over how adorable the kids all looked!

We had such a good time spending time together and watching our kids play on the same beach, and in the same hotel where we played when we were their age. What an amazing legacy Grandma and Grandpa have started!

Wish I could've seen you guys while you were down! Looks like you had a great fam. reunion! PS- I've met some of your girl cousins! They are really good friends with my sis-in-law, Casey Baker. I think they live in Rancho Bernardo. Small world!
