This past weekend we made a trip over to Ohio for a family reunion and to celebrate my grandparent's 60th anniversary. It was a fun filled weekend and we got to see lots of family (Avery got to meet lots of family for the first time too!).
We stayed in a hotel that had a little water park. Whenever we were at the hotel and had some free time, we were in the pool. The girls definitely wore themselves out and were on the go nonstop. Kens had a great time playing with her cousins last weekend and suddenly seemed so old to me watching her with them.
Friday afternoon, we spent time in the pool and my friend from college came over with her 3 kids to visit. It was great to see her and catch up, even if our time was brief. Saturday morning, we spent time swimming again while the guys went golfing. Saturday afternoon was our family reunion and then we were back to the hotel for more swimming. Sunday we went to church and then out to lunch to celebrate my grandparent's anniversary. Our trip home was a little rougher than the way over. The first hour was peaceful and quite as both girls slept. We made a quick stop to feed Avery and the next 2.5 hours consisted of me sitting in the back seat with both girls...trying to keep Avery quiet and the paci in her mouth and feeding Kens snacks in between Mickey episodes. Needless to say, we were all exhausted by the time we got home.
Here are some pictures from our fun filled weekend.

 |
| How to entertain two toddlers...rides on a rolling chair up and down the hotel hallway. |
 |
| Another way to keep them entertained...give them cups of ice to crunch on. |
 |
| Pausing for a picture with cousin Grace (yes, that is chewed up cookie in her mouth). |
 |
| Avery patiently hanging out in her carseat while we ate lunch. |

 |
| Grandma and Grandpa with the little kids...that's a lot of girls. Baby boy Lindvall will definitely be outnumbered. |

Looking forward to another reunion this next June in 2012! Door County!
