Our reunion unofficially began on Friday with the arrival of Camie and Tony with the boys. Rique was happy to spend the night with them at his Tia Ariela's home.

That evening our reunion officially began with a session at the temple and dinner with all the adults at Olive Garden.

Special thanks to Nadia for watching the kids while we were in the temple and a thousand thanks to Alyssa for managing everyone while we were at dinner. I loved coming home and finding the house neater, not messier than when we left it.

Thursday morning all the ladies went out to Kneaders for breakfast, (I want more french toast)and relaxed at Ariela's house with a craft and manicure or pedicure.

In the afternoon we played team sports at the park.Rique loved using his water gun before, during and after capture the flag.

I don't remember who won best team, but I think this team looked the happiest, and that's what matters the most, isn't it?

Thursday evening we went back to our place and roasted hot dogs and sang happy birthday to Grandpa.

Friday we all went to Seven Peaks and had a great time playing in the water.

That night all the men went and saw GI Joe.

Saturday morning we ate waffles and got the backyard ready for Grandpa Granados' surprise 60th birthday luau.

He was happily surprised.

Grandma and Grandpa' neighbor brought balloons to entertain the kids.

Rique loved his sword, complete with belt holder.

Balloon swords are very safe, too bad they pop.

All the kids.

Aurora got a balloon animal too.

The adults over 45 got to hit the pinata.

The kids got all the candy.

This year we added one more to the reunion.

Now we are 32.

September we'll be 33 and October we'll be 34.
I wonder if there will be more before next year's reunion.

The evening and reunion ended with dancing.

The reunion unofficially continued on Sunday as we ate the leftovers and discussed plans for next year's reunion.
