Texas Reunion Trip
Dad and Kathy have been planning a family reunion for the past year or so to get all the "kids/cousins" together. It was really great to see everyone! Sorry Tonya and Jare's families couldn't make it :(
We left Monday, July 2nd and got to our hotel about 1:15am, long day...

We slept in, had breakfast and headed over to dad and Kathy's where everyone was starting to arrive.

Friday, July 6th
Headed to Bogata, Texas to visit Kathy. We made a stop at Babe's Chicken Diner, OMG, Good stuff!
Kathy had setup a tour at the Mount Pleasant Police Station and we visited the local Sweet Shop, dangerous! Kathy made a fabulous spaghetti dinner and we stayed up, playing Uno and yapping in the backyard while we watched the thunder and lighting storm.

It took a while but Maria the cat finally let them pet her

Saturday, July 7th
We made our way back to dad and Kathy's for some relaxing before getting up at 2:30am to catch our 6:20am flight. Another long day, we all crashed as soon as we got home. Ethan didn't even make it up the stairs to his room and fell asleep on the sofa for a few hours :)

We could do a collage of just the Ethan sleeping :)

Tanner's Baseball Game
Monday, July 9th we got to go the final game of Tanner's Conejo Valley District Tournament. They won in extra innings 11-6! Tanner had 4 hits, including 2 key RBI's in the 7th inning! He also threw a guy out at the plate from left field! Great game!
