The very next day after Tyler's PhD defense we drove up to Orange County to have a mini family reunion. Now that Cory lives in LA it was a good place for us all to meet up and spend some time together. We were ALL together, even Andy and Levi came from Utah!
On Friday we all headed to Disneyland. It was pretty crazy! There were soo many of us. Our kids did pretty awesome that day. Tyler didn't want to walk around too much so he took the Lia halfway through the day for a little ride in the car. Our kids did a lot of waiting around for other people to go on rides, but they were pretty happy just hanging out with their cousins!! It was super fun to have all the kids together there, too.
Cute kids waiting patiently for everyone to come so we could go inside!
Grandma Seibert came, too!
Max was super excited about Pooh! Nick and I waited in line for the kids so they could meet a few characters.
Lia was not thrilled about Eeyore.
Watching the Clubhouse Disney show.
All the cousins together!
The whole group minus Nick and I who were waiting in line for Pooh.
Me and Jordy girl! Love her!
Tyler holding cute Carter! I could have held that baby all day. He was so amazingly chill!
Max felt so grown-up hanging out with Jessica!
Lia wasn't thrilled about meeting the princesses but I made her sit and get her photo taken!
Saturday was the Tough Mudder and Tyler, Cory, Kevin and I headed to Snow Valley while the rest of the crew took our kids to the beach. (Stole these photos from Molly's blog!!) That night I had to drive back home to deal with the kittens and everyone else got to play fun games and hang out. It even included Sally having her Oprah moment by handing out a bunch of gifts to everyone there (huge container of chocolate covered almonds, stamps, batteries, gift cards -- awesome loot!!)
Sunday after church and after I finally got back up there to see everyone we sat around talking and having fun together. Monday we all went our separate ways! But we loved getting to see everyone!!
Luckily we all live fairly close to each other that we get to do it (thanks for coming all the way here Levi and Andy!!) Our kids are still talking about the great time they had thanks to Grammie and Papa and all the hard work and planning that went into it. Love you guys!
