Branson - Monday

I am still trying to process the whole Branson trip. I have never been to a reunion before. I came home tired (very tired). Do not get me wrong it was an amazing trip in so many ways. It is sometimes hard to explain to people who have never experienced a reunion with people you have never met. We've known many of these families for such a long time yet we never met face to face. I felt like I was seeing old friends and meeting many new ones. I wish I could put it into words what we experienced this week but somehow I cannot find them.

We got together with the remaining families for lunch on Monday at a park so the kids got their energy out.

It was fun to see the Laughner's family again (cannot wait to see you soon).

After lunch we ended up at a little water park next to the playground. It was the perfect place for us to relax and the kids have fun.





And for dinner we got together with some families at Danna's BBQ.




Since it says 'photo spot' the boys wanted a picture there.


So did Emma (with a bloody nose) however Jo was not interested.

I hope we will get to do this again.

Just in case you haven't noticed we had uncle Vit with us. He was a huge help with the kids and we cannot thank him enough.

Branson day 1.

We made it to Branson for the AWAA(our adoption agency) first reunion. I do not even know where to begin. These are people we have known for almost two years. We talked to each other on the phone, we prayed for each other we cried together we fasted together we rejoiced together well you get the picture. We follow each others blogs yet we never met most of them in person.
I wish all of you that could not have come were here.Meeting at Starbucks (where else). Got to have good coffee to start the day.
The girls spent more then an hour playing in the pink aisle.
