3rd Reunion

Every year it gets better. The families that traveled together to China three years ago to bring their daughters home have been trying to get together yearly for a reunion. The first reunion was at Grandma Bev's and Grandpa Skip's house. We got together for the day and enjoyed a day in the pool. Last year we all traveled to Jae and Mary's house in Maine for the weekend. This year we did it big. We planned a week at Lewes Beach. Heather found a great house that would hold the families that were staying. Four families stayed the entire week. One family came in for the weekend. One family, unfortunately could not come.

It is hard to describe the week. The girls had a blast playing with each other. We had four 3 1/2 year olds, a 5 year old, 7 year old, 8 year old and 13 year old when we were at our max. Everyone got along so well. Yes, there were occasions when someone would not share, there were a few tears but overall the girls got along beautifully. The parents even enjoyed a night out without the children.

The beach was great. We were on the bay so the waves weren't big. The girls enjoyed running in an out of the water. They found hermit crabs, conchs and sand crabs. Unfortunately, two girls and a dad "found" a jelly fish.

Heather arranged a treasure hunt for the girls. Todd has a family member that really looks like a pirate. He came and helped the girls find the clues to find a buried treasure. The girls each got their own little treasure box filled with goodies. This was a blast!! Sophia was a bit afraid of the pirate at first but joined in on finding the treasure and forgot all about being scared.

We went to the boardwalk on Friday. Sophia rode the rides there and played games to win tickets. Winning the tickets was more fun for her than actually taking home the prizes.

The week went by too quickly. We are already thinking about what we will do next year. I am not sure if we can beat this year's fun.
