Reunion
Fillerup Family Reunion in Park City a couple of weeks ago. Here we are riding the lift to go on the Alpine Slide. Eliza stayed behind at the lodge with Aunt Jeanne. The rest of us had gone alpine sliding here in Denver a few weeks prior, so the kids were primed and ready to go. Maddie went down with me and we flew! Savannah went on her own and did well, and Brenna and Hunter made for a speedy team. What a great time--and, of course, we enjoyed ice cream after getting to the bottom of the hill.
So much fun being with family. Sadly, though, we didn't take a big group photo. I guess we were just too busy having fun--water balloon toss, ultimate frisbee, lots of food, Running Charades, music, Olympic Park, church, basketball, tug o war, etc., etc.
We missed Derek and Sara who are serving missions, and we missed Bry, San, Katie and Elise who were stuck in some place called England. Everyone else was able to make it for at least part of the time. The kids loved being with cousins, and I loved being with my folks, sisters, bros in law, and all my fantastic nieces and nephews. Simply put, a great crowd!
Savannah, Hunter and Maddie then spent five days and four nights at Aunt Jeanne's house. A few bumps in the road with Maddie having a bit of homesickness, but I know they would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks to Ron, Jeanne, Erin, Matthew and Jordan for putting life on pause to entertain the munchkins.
Brenna and I were amazed at how quiet the house was and how we were able to get some things done. It was nice for a few days. Soon, though, we were ready for their return. When we got them back, it was a great reunion after the reunion!
