Every Labor Day weekend, Josh's extended family has their family reunion. It's at a church camp just outside of town, so it's not too far of a journey for us to make. The boys are not particularly crazy about all the people, at least not the twins, but there's enough outside space to make the outing work.
And then there's the creek. It's a big draw for all three boys. Connor was the first one to jump all in (yes, shoes, socks, clothes and all). Xander quickly followed, and Sawyer eventually found his way in, too. It was a little messy on the ride home, but it was a happy few hours in the creek.
Connor also had a big time playing with cousins. First he got to see Ryleigh and Daniel, who are always good play friends at family gatherings. And then his more extended cousins, Jack and Paul, who he got to know really well during preschool and kindergarten. The boys attended the same private preschool for a few years together, and Connor and Jack started kindergarten together at the magnet elementary school on the other side of town (near our old house).
It was a good day. Food. Outdoor fun. Family.
