Travel Group Get Together 2009

Last weekend we had our annual get together with some of the folks from our travel group. It is always fun to catch up with the parents and see how the girls are growing. Saturday night was at the always welcoming Wise household. Families who joined us were: Wise, Sipe, Henry, May/Sturmer, Kelly, Kohus & Chu. We missed those who weren't able to make it (Humbert & Ross)!!

We were supposed to go to the spash park but alas, it was raining, so the girls just played inside instead. Finney Chu organized a parade after Josie Wise decided it would be a good idea to make tambourines with paper plates & dry pasta. There was lots of dress up going on and later just plain old jumping around on the couch in the basement. Finally there were a few bubbles on the back porch.

Amidst all of the playing was some chatting by the grownups and a sumptious feast complete with blueberry martinis and some other red fruity drink that Robin made. Shannon was the grill master extrordinaire! We did manage to capture a red couch photo too!

As the photographer of record...I tried to get photos of everyone...but for some reason, some kids just always seem to avoid the camera! :-( If anyone has any photos they want to send me, I'd love to add them to my collection!
