WOFOFF '10

Hi everyone!

Its been a while and we've been keeping busy with lots of fun summer things. We just returned from our annual weekend of full-on fun & fellowship with some of our dear college friends. This year 9 adults and 5 kids gathered up in Sacramento and we stayed at one of our friends' parents' house. We decided to book flights on southwest.com rather than make the 8+ hour drive, and thanfkully we were able to take advantage of one last flight with Samuel flying free as a lap child before he turned 2 (with just a few days to spare!). The way up the flight was pretty empty, so Sam was able to sit in his own window seat (buckled into his car seat) and happily watched the movie 'Cars' on the way up. The flight back was more full, so he sat on our laps. Although he was an angel both ways, I'm still thankful the flight was so short!

Anyways we had a wonderful weekend with our friends and wanted to share some photo highlights of the trip!

Each day we played & cooled down in the pool... Sammy had fun trying to swim between his Mommy & Daddy... and all the guys had fun doing tricks off the diving board. :)

It seems that at this age the boys really enjoyed copying each other with whatever they were doing. Here are Evan & Samuel rolling around on the grass. ;)

And here is a nice shot of the three little guys - Samuel, Evan & Tyler. They really had fun playing together all weekend!

The two sweet girls, Lena & Evie, enjoyed playing together too! We're looking forward to meeting baby girl Wisner so she can even the numbers out for next year!

And each night after the kids had gone to bed, we danced it up with the Wii game "Just Dance." Hmmm... I wonder why Andrew didn't win this round? Unless the rest of us are just really behind?

On Saturday we checked out the Railroad Museum in Old Town Sacramento. We had a great time seeing all the old steam engines. The kids loved climbing into the cars and seeing all the trains.

Then we had a picnic lunch outside amongst the Women's Suffrage picketers.

We also were treated to a fabulous dinner by our friend Ben's parents! After dinner we took a walk in their neighborhood and saw some race horses. Here are the three boys together looking at the horsies.

We wish we could have stayed up there a few more days, but weekends just go by so quickly. We love all our friends so much and we're already looking forward to next year's trip, wherever that may be! :)
