Daniel's parents, in the past, have taken all of his siblings and their spouses to Mexico. We've gone 3 times... to Cancun, Puerto Vallarta and Cozumel. We usually go in February. This year proved to be a little trickier to plan. First, Daniel's sister, Shelly, moved with her family to England the end of January so if we wanted them to be able to go we had to plan for January, but then secondly, Ryan and Heather have been called to be mission presidents in Paris this summer and had surrendered their passports to be renewed so couldn't leave the country without their passports and wouldn't have them back in time to go in January. So on a whim, it was decided that instead of Mexico, we would just convene together in Florida. We looked at some Air B'n'B's at the beach but we just couldn't find the right place that could accommodate us that had a pool and hot tub and pickleball courts. Ha!! We realized all we wanted was right here in our backyards so we rallied together and housed everyone here and made it happen! Everyone from out west was able to come (some had to bring a few kids with them) but for the most part we enjoyed some fun adult reunion time filled with meals, pickleball, spike ball, games and devotionals. It was a whirlwind weekend but so so much fun!!
We had a photo shoot with Eva on the coldest morning of the year
We had Jake and Tiff stay with us and also all the teenage boys. Jake and Tiff brought Will along and the Quig's had brought Declan so because we wanted to keep Jackson under roof due to his condition, we had the boys all stay here (Porter and Austin, too). (We had an extra available bedroom since Ivy was at Girls Camp - that post is coming next!) It was so good for Jackson's morale. He had a great time with the boys!!
Super Sunday Crew!
We played A LOT of pickleball... like pickleballed our brains out!!
