About a year ago I started a conversation with my cousins about a cousin reunion. I decided to have it on Grandma's birthday so that we could all be there to celebrate with her. Not all the cousins were able to come, but we had a fair amount as well as aunts and uncles. It was such a fun weekend. I hope we do it again soon!
I wanted to give Grandma something for her birthday so I asked all the family members to send me a picture of their family so I could print them, label them, and put them in a book for Grandma.
Here are collages of each family.

At the park:
So happy we had this weekend with grandma. The smile on her face was worth it all!
We also got to stay with the Baumgartners while we were there. Miss them so much so it was so good to see them. We loved their house! Konrad used his mad sewing skills (normally used to fix stuffed animals, to fix Hallie's jumper :)
Tami and I even squeezed in a hike:
And a dip in the cool pool!
