Going out West: Part 4 (The All Together Day)

All of the families mode of transportation all lined up.... pretty good...
On the Saturday we just had fun - lots of races, games, candy, amazing food - everyone had a meal they had to do, and lots of visiting. 
Harmony and Heather.

Best friends - Ethan and Erik getting ready for the three legged race.

Then we played the big "Dutch Blitz" in the afternoon - man it was hot... but fun.

Afterwards, the kiddie pool was pulled out and the girls had a blast. 
The girls roped James into helping them make a couple of movies during the weekend. They had so much fun doing this - and Katie felt pretty special to be included in the cousin group. 
Watching a Blue Jays game - Cameron explaining some of the game to Erik. 

This fence... where my horse Velvet used to be kept...such a beautiful view. 
The guys did some target practice - I just briefly tried...and totally bombed.

Everyone just watches the stealer of the show.

On Sunday - I got to see some dear friends at the service - which was pretty neat. Dear Naomi. 
Father's Day - with my dear daddy.
Me and Kendra - good to see her again.

Lots of visiting. And I love the Benjamin wanted to hold Leanne. 
Mommy - faithfully cooking for us. :)

In the late afternoon on Sunday - all of the siblings went to Andrew and Rebecca without any kids - except Titus and Leanne - and just talked - and ate. :) Becca fed us pizza and oranges and other good stuff... and we just laughed, went around the table and talked about which kind of love language we "are" or give, and asked hard questions from Andrew's 1000 question book.

Then I said goodbye to this kiddo. Didn't get to spend a lot of time with him - but was good to see him again. 

And then I had to say goodbye to this guy too - yes, I cried. A lot. I hate saying goodbye - sometimes I just need my brothers...
Harmony and Laura reading together.

And Abigail going strong at night. :)
