Friend Reunion

I have been so lucky to continue my relationships with my group of high school friends. For a long time we've been wanting to get together for a reunion, and last weekend we were finally able to do it! Anna was awesome enough to plan it and house us for the weekend. We had so much fun and it was so great to see everyone again, especially since we will be leaving soon. There were still a few of us that weren't able to be there, and we sure missed you guys!





The traveling was interesting to say the least. We did have to stop two or three times to give the kids some hope, but overall I'd say that they did pretty good. Jayda is watching Dora on her portable DVD player, thank goodness for technology!

Anna showing Landon and Kylie Gigi's teeth.






Janna, Audrey, Kristine and Christina





Skyler and Gigi. Skyler could not get enough of this sweet puppy, and Gigi was such a good sport about it.




The kids having fun on the air mattress in one of the guest bedrooms.




We had reservations at PF Changs and ended up waiting for twenty minutes. It was a bummer at the time, but we were fine after recieving lots of free appetizers!








Dinner at PF Changs turned out to be a surprise baby shower for Anna and DJ who are expecting their first baby in November, CONGRATULATIONS!



Glenn and I straining to get in the picture together!




Kris and Darik



Jill and I were roommates almost ten years ago in college. We had so much fun back then, and just as much fun hanging out here!




All of us in front of PF Changs. Thanks so random strangers willing to take our pictures!



DJ (Anna's husband) was so good with the kids, here he is helping Skyler play the organ they have in their home.



Anna took us downtown where there was an amazing Farmer's Market surrounding this fountain. It was fun watching the kids play in the water.



Jayda enjoying herself in the fountain!



Janna swinging Audrey in the water.




Me and Skyler



Glenn swinging Jayda, she thought it was great!





Skyler was not as amused with getting swung in the fountain!




Jayda and Ellie playing in the water!

The last thing we did was go to a community pool to take the kids swimming. It was SO much fun, Jayda was able to play without being watched constantly, and Skyler loved the pool too. I would have loved to take more pictures, but that was about when my camera decided to go into a coma for a while! We had a great time, thanks girls!

You all look exactly the same as I remember! It's great you got to see everyone before you move. Looks like great fun! ;)

I think it is so cool that you guys still all get together AND that your husbands will do it too. Ben doesn't really like any of my old friends husbands(and they don't seem to really like him) so it makes for uncomfortable gatherings. Which is so weird because Ben really gets along with everyone....

We TOTALLY need a fountain like that where kids can play in Pocatello!!!! And I wanted to say that is one AWESOME family pic you have at the header of your blog. We are lazy. We haven't had a family picture taken for real in a loooooong time.
