Reunion and Vacation

Last weekend was Jake's family reunion. We spent time with family, ate some yummy food, and saw a great skit! Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures of the skit. I am hoping for an encore so I can get those pictures.

Here is a picture of the grandsons in their outfits from Grandma!
After the reunion, we went on vacation. We went to a resort my grandparents got for the entire family. We laughed a lot and Jake and I got to share our games of Phase 10 and Yahtzee!

We shared a suite with Keith, Lindsey and Hunter and the boys had lots of fun together! For fun we checked out a Cardinals game (Jake), went on a hike (all of us), mini golfed (all of us), golfed (Jake), went to a historical site and shopped and ate (Melissa), went swimming (all of us), went on a date (Jake and Melissa), played tennis (Jake and Melissa), played lots of games (Jake and Melissa), went to Grant's Farm (all of us), got an ear infection and had to go to the ER (Cameron), played in the arcade (Jake and Cameron), stayed up too late (Jake and Melissa), loved the elephant show (probably just Melissa), are very thankful for our trip (all of us),

Here are a few pictures:

We did take a hike on a very hot day, but it was fun to see the boys do their thing. We just let Cam and Hunter go off by themselves. They eventually made it back to the van........Just teasing.....
We found them taking a break on a log....

We tried to get a family picture, but we were a little tired and toasty.


The boys went swimming almost everyday they could. Hunter got big boy floaties and did great using them. Cameron hung out in his car most of the time. The other 1 year olds were giving him the evil eye planning an attack to steal his ride.

Hunter tried to push Cameron in the pool (just teasing......again)




Cameron loved to swim until he got an ear infection, which resulted in a trip to the ER b/c no doctors would see him without making him a permanent patient. He had a high fever for 3 days, but was in a pretty good mood. He did have to rest a lot more.


We also visited Grant's Farm. I kept calling it Grants Park but Jake had to remind me that we were not going to Chicago for the day to go to Grants Park. We got to see the Clydesdale horses from the Budweiser commercials. This is Matt, he kicked the field goal in the commercial!

Jake and Cameron watching the elephant show! The elephant actually played a harmonica and danced. It was pretty neat.

" Why don't we just fly away?"


Cameron enjoyed visiting the horses in the stables

And walking around the farm


He got his first souvenir. He loves Mr. Bojangles and likes to kiss him.

Oh, Grant's Farm! We LOVE going there . . . in fact, we are going to go over there in August for a short vacation. We went last fall and got Jackson "Dale", which he sleeps with every night! Glad you enjoyed your time away.

Well that sounds like you guys had a lot of fun! Minus the ear infection of course.
