Younger Family Get Together

We went to Salina last weekend to celebrate Adam's Grandma's 82nd birthday! It was a big surprise and Adam's brother and sister's families made the trip too. We all came into town and surprised her at a hotel. We told her we came to visit because we were in Russell for a few days and decided to come to Salina for the day. She knew we were going to go swimming at one of the hotels and asked her to come watch the kids! She fell for it and was very surprised when she saw everyone.

Here is all the grandkids and great grandkids. Adam's dad had the banner made with all the names.

I always love Thad's facial expressions in pictures. He never makes a picture dull!
After we had cake it was swimming time! Thad is the biggest water bug I know. He has no fear for the water which scares me to death! He knows he can only jump in the water if Daddy is there to catch him. I love this picture of him jumping in the water!
He also had to fear of going down the big water slide on his own. He probably went down the slide over 20 times by himself. Daddy had fun catching him at the end.
We always have to get a picture of Maddix, Thad and Josh. They are all 3 years old and have a good time together. You never know what kind of picture you are going to get so I just start snapping away!

We had a great weekend and it was good seeing all of Adam's family. It has been way too long since all of us were together at his Dad's house. The kids always have a fun time playing with each other too.
