~Day 193: Last Reunion Day

Last day in Aberdeen. We grabbed a picture with grandma and grandpa Wallace before we left. Very special great grandparents for our kiddos. Grateful we were able to spend time with them. 

Grandma Wallace gave each of her grand kids one of her teacups she had collected. She had each grandchild draw a number and then they were able to go choose which set they wanted. 

Nick chose this set that has the 50th anniversary on it. This belonged to Frank Wallace's parents. This was their set on their 50th anniversary. Very special. 

Activities in the morning for the little ones. The piñata was first. Bruce became Cailee's best friend as he got the piñata set up. 

Everyone was patient and calm and having fun, until....

Someone hit it just right. If one piece of candy fell out.... This was the scene that happened. Every child converged together on that piece of candy. 

Next activity was "Minute to Win It." Several activities were created by Marie and Cynthia. The kids had so much fun! (Even some adults got into it) Here is Brookie making Londyn into a mummy. 

Ashton was trying to stack the cups before Jacey could. The wind kept knocking them over.... Maybe it was the wind. 

Ashton also was able to try to stack dice on the end of a stick he held in his mouth. He got it at last. 

Kira created a scavenger hunt for the kids. They had a lot of fun trying too locate each clue. 

The hunt ended at the family drug store, Wallace Drug. They were each treated to ice cream after they found the last clue. 

More water activities today. We went to the dock to play in the water and wait our turn in one of the boats. 

Brookie was brave again and knee-boarded by herself. 

Ashton was brave again too! So proud of my kids!

I was able to ride the tube with both Cailee and Brookie. It was great fun with the kids today. 

Brookie jumped off the platform all by herself. AshLynn had to tell me Brookie had jumped already. This is her second jump... After that she went off it a lot!

Brave girl!

Cailee had to give baby Boss one last hug and kiss. This morning she made me follow the baby around so she could love on him. He really is a sweet baby. 

Brookie had to take selfies on the way home to grandma Jocelyn's house.... Her smile just about says it all about our trip. The kids have had such a good time. Makes me happy and I can't wait to hear about their memories. 

I was sad to leave today. Makes it hard when the family is so great, and we all live so far away from each other. Hopefully we will see them again soon.
