Long weekend away - part 3

The main part of this long weekend was attending a family reunion. These are the two people who made it happen. These are my mom's grand-parents. I was 2 when my great-grandpa passed away, and 6 when my great-grandma passed away so I don't remember them. Most kids didn't really want to go because they didn't know anyone. I reminded Maelie and Lucas that that whole crowd was our family! They were not sure how to soak that in! All they could say is that they have a HUGE family!



Here are the kings of the mountain ... just before Lucas scraped the whole front of his leg!



The reunion was at a sugar shack type place by the woods, so Maelie was happy to have her net a bug container with her for this special event!



Nathan liked to sit on the 4 wheeler so Jo decided it was the best spot for a pic of her and her boys! It would at least keep Nathan still long enough for a picture!



Who knew you could fit 2 babies in the little pool I got at Dollarama! A bit snug though!



Jo made a nice trifle for my belated birthday celebration. They wanted to sing me happy birthday. As you can tell... one of us was WAY too exhausted to sing.... LOL. So in her usual fashion, Maelie wrote a note so he could participate too.



Maelie and I headed home in the afternoon. Once close to home, Bill and I surprised her by going Go Karting!! She was quite nervous at first not expecting the kart to go fast at all.



Once she got going though... she did not want to stop!! She says she is now officially ready to drive!!



Great ending to a great weekend!! It's always good to be home though. For the next 2 days, I need to child proof my house as my nephews are coming over on Wednesday!! Nathan is a very very very busy bee!!
