Other than being a little sleepy, we had lots of fun. We played ping pong as a group, I think it's called "around the world," and the game starts with a group gathered around the table. A person will serve the ball and then put down the paddle and rotate around. So everyone is hurrying to hit the ball, set down the paddle, and make their way to the other end of the table to pick up that paddle and hit the ball and continue around. We usually start with 6-8 people running around. If you mess up, you're out. Once it's down to 2 people, one person will serve, put down the paddle, spin a 360, and then pick up the paddle to receive the ball. Just watch, it's fun and funny.
Merril's little sister, Megan, won that round.
Merril was resting for a bit with the kids. Maxine, Merril and I all played. Merril and I both won a couple of times. Woops, I didn't fix the red eyes.
We went swimming, played way too much Wii, gabbed a lot, and ate tons of food. There was also a talent show and an auction. We were each given $500 of play money and all who attended were asked to donate some items. We chose to donate a selection of candy bars. Maxine bought some colored pencils and a notebook. Jack got an activity book and I bought some bracelets. We pooled our money at the end because Maxine really wanted to buy some playdough. She paid $630 for it. Fun fun!

I've been trying to cut down on the blogs I read so I've been paying attention to how I feel when I see that one of them has a new post. If I think "ugh" and skip one, or read it wondering what drivel they'll post, well then obviously I delete that from my blog roll.
When I see that M+J has posted I feel all fluttery and excited, and most of the time I wish you posted more often. OBVIOUSLY that means I'll keep you on my blog roll - post away!
We had a great time at the reunion and you don't usually need to worry about your kids waking up my kids, so sleep more soundly next time. I didn't get to say bye to you guys since you left while I was putting the baby to sleep, so it was great to see you. Thanks again for letting us borrow all the baby gear so we didn't have to haul it on the plane and for taking us to the "beach." That was J.D.'s favorite part of the trip.
