Reunion duds....

This past week we spent getting ready to go to Oklahoma for the Nix Family Reunion. I was super prepared for fun and junk food. Instead ended up in bed most of the day Saturday with a little stomach virus (I'll spare the details) and then was loving enough to pass on to Mike later in the afternoon and then on to Rich during the early morning hours on Sunday. We were sharing a room with Tricia and her family. We all ended up leaving and checking out at around 5 or 5:30 Sunday morning and making our way home...with only a few pit stops.... Mike and I both worked today and the kids seemed to manage their chores without getting sick. Good thing I went easy on them. It IS Monday afterall and we all have a hard time getting motivated for Mondays!

So, in the end...we were the reunion duds.... But we did take advantage of the INDOOR pool. I don't really remember it ever raining at our reunion too much in Oklahoma. But this year it did. We swam in the pool while watching the lightening and rain come down. The kids and I made it down to the little amusement park with the rest of my family Saturday evening for some bumper car action! Kiley loved the bumper cars, ferris wheel, tilt-a-whirl, pink spider thing, and go carts with Kae-Kae! Rich was more into the go carts and some airplane ride and NOT the spinning rides! He did ride the ferris wheel with AK. Kiley is the thrill-ride girl! Rich just wants to DRIVE! He put his hat on backwards on the go carts and took it serious to make it to the front of the pack! I even got in on the bumper car action and tried taking pictures while doing it. Not really a good idea...

I look forward to 'us' having our own family reunion and my awesome sister-in-law Shana is supposed to be planning our 1st one!
