Travel Group Reunion

Wow what an amazing weekend! We had an amazing time with our China Travel Group!! We printed reunion shirts and shirts for the little girls and it was so precious to see them in the shirts!! Anna Grace had SO much fun seeing all of her sisters! They all played together and were SO sweet!! I already miss them all!
We went to a wonderful lake house that one of the families parents owns. Thank you Gandy and Gil! It was so much fun! We all loved it!
On Thursday afternoon we checked into the hotel and then went to the lake house. We went out and swam and rode on the paddle boat! Then we made dumplings for dinner! That would be one of my very favorite things we did! It was great!! Our whole family LOVED making them!!
On Friday the rest of the families came in and then the party started :) All the girls got along perfectly! I couldn't believe how they had changed! Such a difference!
Saturday was great as were all the other days! We all matched in our red shirts and took the "red couch" pictures! The changes in the girls were amazing! It is hard to believe 2 years ago we were in Hong Kong saying goodbye to everyone! Crazy! I can't believe it!! It did rain in the afternoon but that sure didn't stop the fun! Oh and it was my Mom and Dad's anniversary! 17 Years!! Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad! I love you! Joyce and Eric got them a cake in the colors of their wedding! So sweet! Thanks Joyce and Eric!! :)

So we had a wonderful time and can not wait to meet up with them again! :)
Here are some the pictures!



Anna LOVED Bethany! They are such sweet friends!
