Reunion time

Our family reunions for Pop-Pop's side of the family are always held at Aunt D's house. Since Abuela and Abuelo are her neighbors, we went to their house before the reunion was supposed to start.

 Then we drove and walked to Aunt D's a little before it was supposed to start so that we could help get any last minute things ready. The kids had so much fun visiting with everyone. A lot of the relatives they only see once or twice in a year so it was great to be able to get together with them. Little Bear has a cousin who is only a few months older than him that he loves to play with. They were both shy at first since they hadn't seen each other since last year's reunion (I think?). After a few minutes, the kids were all off playing together on the swing-set, playing basketball/riding toys/playing with dinosaurs on the driveway, and playing games that were set up in the yard. After a little while, they all decided that it was hot enough that they wanted to go swimming. Then it was back to running around in the yard. Later, the kids were all able to talk to another young cousin who was across the country via Skype.

Pequeño got to eat in a high chair that has been in this family for 56 years

Pudge plopped himself down in front of the fan to cool off after running around with the big kids. He had to be reminded a few times not to touch the fan.

Uh oh! Abuelo got out the squirt bottle. The kids loved it!
