Summer Vacation 2007: Family Reunion (Sharon's side)

The first full day after we arrived at my parent's house we drove about an hour to my brother's house in the country for a family reunion. My aunt (my dad's sister), uncle, cousins, and their children came out too. I realized as I was compiling these pics that almost all of our pictures were just of my side of the family and we didn't get any group shots. Oh well, we will just have to remember for next time.

Aunt Charlene (my brother's wife) watches as Jenna discovers the fun of one of her cousin's toys.

Jenna's leading the way for my brother, David, and Robby.

This is my new nephew Hayden. Isn't he a cutie?! I say "new" because I hadn't had a chance to meet him until this trip. He is now 8 months, and he weighs a whopping 25lbs.! (Jenna, who's just over 2yrs, only weighs 23lbs.!)

At his weight, it is really tough on the arms to when he decides to try diving off your lap!

My Aunt Marcel, Charlene, and my mom chat together on the porch.

One thing was for sure, we weren't totally used to the humidity in Texas, especially after living in dry Arizona for the last three years. You can't tell completely from this picture, but Jenna's hair had a little bit of a wave in it while we were there.

Jenna was really fascinated with Uncle David and Aunt Charlene's horses. She was interested in seeing them up close until they moved in our direction, then she wanted to back up quickly.

Then when we got carrots to feed the horses she wanted to hold the carrot until the horse's giant lips reached out to grab it, at which point I had to take over.

Little Robby really enjoyed playing in Uncle David's playroom!

So did Dad! He's having flashbacks to his childhood playing Donky Kong.

My Uncle Richard and cousins enjoyed playing a game together on the game table.

Grandma cuddles with Hayden.

We really had a great time visiting David and Charlene!

One last cute pic, Jenna and Little Robby with their cousin Hayden!
