Leatherman Reunion

Saturday, July 18th was the annual Leatherman reunion in Garner, Tx. This reunion is my Pap Paw's side of the family. We used to rent cabins and take campers for an entire weekend but as the years have past it has been condensed to a one day meeting. We have been going to Garner for a few years now and it seems to work out well for everyone. We arrived around 11 am and made our way in the building. Last year I had brought a big bag of toys for the kids and we kept them in a small room in the back of the building. I know that sounds horrible but you have to remember how many kids are at this reunion. All of our family except my little brother has a set of twins all under the age of 4. Every one but us has a singleton in addition to their twins. It is a lot of kids to get together that is for sure!

This year the kids were going to be even more mobile than they were last year so I came prepared. I brought puzzles, coloring books and pages, colors, books and balls. I brought anything I could think of to keep them busy. Aunt Wendy also brought coloring stuff, playdoh and stickers which the kids loved. There was a small kids table in the front of the meeting room so we set that up as the kid table. The kids immediately started asking for projects as soon as they saw every thing. First we colored...


Ethan, Jake and Paige. Abby, Dallas, Ethan and Paige. The other cousins were not here yet even though they live less than 10 minutes away. Ha!


Dallas and Abby are special buddies. Puzzle time!


Then it was time to run, jump and chase balls. Abby is a little gatherer. It cracks me up! She collects things and puts them in a pile claiming them to be hers. So cute!


The newest set of twins to join the group. Austin and Alex enjoying some chocolate.

Look at Abby's "lipstick".
We eventually ended up back in the tiny room coloring.


Look at those girls go! Another cousin tickling Jake.


That looks like fun... Abby's turn!


Austin and Alex walking together. I absolutely love this. Such a cute twin thing!


Ethan was getting tired can you tell.

They sat up the chairs for group pictures. Of course my brother's twins and ours thought the chairs were set up to run around. They had such a great time chasing after each other and screaming loudly until someone go hurt.

Right after I took this second picture Ethan ran smack into that table behind Wendy. He literally bounced off the table with his head. Poor baby screamed and screamed. It was almost time for us to go.


Now that is a family picture!


After group pictures and Paige was so ready to go home.

(Sorry the color of the pictures isn't that fantastic. It was either fix them all and you not see them for another month or quick fix them and be done with it. Quick fix won!)
