California

Kenny had a business trip, and I was fortunate enough to tag along with him.

I shopped, read, ran, and hung out at the beach. Kenny wasn't around much, and I actually think this was good for me to have to entertain myself for a while. I have this problem where I don't like to be alone. I don't think I have ever spent this much time on my own...EVER!

I have heard so much about families falling apart, and, as I was beach watching, I saw some uplifting moments. I was happy to see that there are families still going strong.

I did alot of reading...

Kenny took me out to lunch on my B-day.

I had a lot of fun and I appreciated Kenny's sister for taking our kiddos, but I have learned some things I already knew. I don't like to be alone, and I hate to be without my boys. I was SO anxious to get back to them. I also LOVE having time with just Kenny!

It was a good birthday. Thanks for all the calls and wishes.

Last day...Reunion III

Cute cousins

Kreg's family had this cool camping tool, we used it to make grilled cheese sandwiches and apple pies, yummy

Texas Tough Tessa

Tanner's turn for a ride.

On the drive home the boys wanted to see some deer, but they got ever better. We saw a bull moose...right off the side of the road.

Hike to Toquer Lake- Fam Reunion II

Craig and Lola with their kids, in-laws, and grandkids (Minus Steven and Carlyn-they came up later).

It was a long hike with so many kids, and I don't think everyone loved it. Kenny and I had a great time though, with the exception of a missing nephew for a few minutes. Tanner even got to fish, he loved that...thanks uncle Ryan.

Family Reunion

My in-laws held their first family reunion, and we had a great time. Everybody was able to be there. I have way too many pictures, but I wanted to remember the fun...
