A Total Blast!

We could not have asked for a better end to our roadtrip than the Alford Family Reunion in Tyler. Caleb had so much fun playing with all of his cousins that he didn't want to go home on Sunday! This from the child that spent the whole week begging to go home! I can't even tell you how much this meant to us!
We got to see Aunts, Uncles and cousins that we haven't seen in three or five or eight years. I even met one of Brian's uncles for the very first time! We ate TONS of yummy food, caught up with an amazing family and met the new babies! The plan is to do this every year now and you can totally count us in!
Caleb has had the opportunity to play with his second cousins, Cole and Sadie, a few times and it never fails to thrill him to pieces! They are, afterall, older and wiser and sooooo much fun! Caleb was their shadow all day and they were so great with him! It was really cute when Gabriel (23 months old) would join in as Caleb's shadow! Caleb went home wiped out and blissfully happy!

Tag!

Caleb got in a lot of great wrestling this weekend!

Gabriel wanted to play too!

Seriously! How great are Cole and Sadie?!

Brian's cousin brought a slip and slide and Caleb still talks about how great it was!
Here he got some help and momentum from Daddy!

This was how we ended the day! Great eh!

Madison and Gabriel's version of the slip and slide!

Big Kid Cole showing them all how it is done!

Sadie liked to hop and dance down the slide. Very adorable!

Even baby Uriah got his toes and bum wet...he didn't much like it though...

Our dude perfected the slide on your knees approach! We are so proud!

Caleb was so excited to have a game to play like Cole!
I love this picture so much! Gabriel can't wait to be a big kid too!

Thank you Alfords for a great day!
