The kids and I had the privilege of going to Adventureland with the Fett Family over the 4th of July weekend. It was such a fun day -- perfect weather, fun people, exciting rides, and yummy treats!!! Kate and Ben were excited about trying out some new rides this year. The top list of favorites included the: falling star, scrambler and the G-force and of course "the Ferris Wheel" (an oldie, but a goodie!!) kind of like me (-;

Doug spent the afternoon sharing stories, memories, playing games and enjoying family time at a reunion with Zimmerman cousins, Aunts and Uncles ~~~it sounded like a great day too!

The Omaha Cairney's made the trip to Pender to join us in the Fun Run on Saturday morning of Alumni weekend! The weather was absolutely perfect and we had a great time. Doug cheered us all on by biking next to us the entire route. The kids were super psyched about their medals with first place finishes going to Kate and Zach and a silver for Mr. Ben!! Do I need to mention that the adults loved their medals too??? (-: Great job everyone!!! Hope that you can join us next year Nick -- we missed you!

Fun times with family/friends

Having fun with Papa at the pool

Even though we were busy all weekend with class reunion activities, we still made time to enjoy our friends and family. Aunt Sharolyn stayed at the house with us, so as always, it was great to have that extra time visiting and catching up with her. Miss Ryann spent a few hours playing at the house after the pancake breakfast (this is when the kids decided to transform the living room into a Dr.'s office), and neighbor Caitlyn joined them at the pool for an afternoon with Papa.

The weekend in Pender wraps up with a parade on Sunday every year. Our class had decided to get T-shirts printed and have a water toys (guns & ballons)/candy float and we had a BLAST!!! Thanks to my Dad who pulled us, Kate (whom rode shot-gun with Papa and tossed some tootsie rolls), Matt & Krista for providing the float and decorations, Doug for providing the drinks, Jen the candy & t-shirts, and Julia the balloons, it all came together for a great way to finish out the celebration. I am sure that a few people along the parade route got more wet than they had planned, but it was hot right???

20 year Alumni Reunion - Friday night BBQ

The Class of 1991 was able to celebrate together the last weekend of June in Pender and we had a great time! Not all members were able to be there, but those of us that were, had such fun catching up on the latest happenings in our lives.....believe it or not, even though it has been 20 years....we have not changed that much (: Just a little less hair for some of us (-; I think one of my favorite highlights of the weekend was watching all of our kids play together on Friday night. They had the best time, and some of them are just like their parents!
