It has been a week and a half now, but we traveled down to Pat & Jennifer's for the big 70th celebration in honor of Papa Thom. Tripp's Mom was in charge of getting everyone invited and together and planning the menu and wanting it to happen, Pat & Jennifer were gracious enough to help them pull it off and allow us to invade their home so the rest of us just showed up!
Our kids have been talking for weeks about getting together with their cousins. Abbie & Daisy had a slight meltdown when they realized it was the same weekend as Ruby's Build a Bear Birthday Party but thank goodness Rubes is a bestie and and we will have lots more birthday celebrations together.
This photo shows about 70% of those in attendance over the weekend. Of course Mama & Papa Thom aren't in it, neither are Pat & Jen. Doodles and Tripp seem to be absent as well. But it gives an idea...lots of cousins!!!!!
Pat had a kickball game planned for Saturday afternoon. I think the photos from that game are the most amusing of the entire weekend. Take a gander...
Kyle didn't really believe I could do anything so I was just standing around a lot. Not including those photos, thanks. Uncle Paul treated all the kids to the ice cream truck (young Uncle Paul that is. We also got to see Tripp, Pat & Paul's Uncle Paul later that evening...such a cute man!)
Tripp and Daisy just sitting and visiting with the group. This might be where they were when the couch photo was snapped?
Abbie and Daisy sort of fell in love with Garrett on this trip. He charmed them. Just before we left town they were trying to convince me our family should adopt a baby from China, then they hung out with Garrett all weekend....
Cute, cute cousins. Besides the absence of Doodle Bob, we missed Sweet Emily. Can't wait for an opportunity to get them all together. She is really, really missed. Having the Gormus Family call over Skype when while presents were being opened, etc. was one of the highlights of the weekend. We miss you guys!!!!!!
Overall, a great time was had by all. Too little sleep, check! Too much to eat, check! Chili Pepper, check! Three cranky kids on the drive home, check! Lots of lovely memories that I hope my kids have for a lifetime...check.
