Family Reunion
Papoose and I recently had the privilege of joining my extended family in West Virginia for a delightful reunion (and celebration of my grandpa's 88th birthday). My Aunt Faye and Uncle Steve planned a fun-packed weekend and some special surprises (including a massive, inflated velcro wall for kids of ALL ages and a jousting ring). I'm awaiting pictures of my crazy uncle and cousins in their velcro suits as they landed in all sorts of contortions against this wall. You've gotta see it to believe it!
It was a privilege to see Grandpa hold my new baby and to enjoy poolside chats with cousins I haven't seen since my wedding. I will treasure the memories we made together and look forward to bringing the rest of my family with me next time.

I'm thrilled that you were able to attend this reunion & bring Papoose with you. I'm sure he stole everyone's hearts.
Can't wait to see the pics of the velcro landings. LOL! I can just imagine. Hee, hee.
