On September 7, my grandparents celebrated their 66th anniversary. After the girls first soccer game of the season, we headed to Yakima to celebrate with our family. It was a great reunion.....we got to see aunts and uncles and cousins that we rarely see. The kids loved having lots of new kids to play with. I was amazed at how quickly the cousins took to each other....they got along much better than any new "friend" relationship they have had. I love family bonding time!
Tired kiddos on the way to Yakima
A quick stop at McDonalds for refreshing and reviving ice cream!
The guests of honor
Levi and Laurel playing with their cousin, Allie
Erika and Lilly ran around the yard the entire time we were there! I could barely get a decent picture of them!
Levi with Enzo. Enzo is one of the older cousins and he was absolutely fantastic with the younger kids!
We stayed in a hotel with a pool and after some nighttime swimming with the cousins, the kids were exhausted! On Sunday, we had the privilege of listening to my brother, Jacob, preach at my grandparents church. He did an amazing job and his lesson was so thought provoking and encouraging and lively....he is a gifted speaker and minister and I am very proud of him! After church, we drove home. It was a quick trip, but so worth going to see our family!
And, while we were gone, our friend and youth minister at our church, Kyle, checked on and cared for Wyatt. Instant friendship!
