Mid-June we had our 2013 Farwell Reunion (my college besties) in the Dells. We got there a little early so the kids and I bummed at the outlets until check-in. We killed all our time in the Disney store and Carter & Audrey thought they would get to leave with these guys. Guess again!
The last time we met up in the Dells we only stayed 1 night and it wasn't enough. This time we stayed 2. Our first night we ordered in pizza for dinner and had a pizza party on the floor. We had family suites so we had space to all be together.
Gabe, Drew and Carter always have a blast together. I can't even tell you how many times they went down these slides together. The second night they ended up all in 1 bed together. I wish I would have gotten a picture of it.
Audrey, Claire, Maelle and Emerson
2 of the moms stayed outside with the kiddos and the other 2 went up to the rooms to bring down food for lunch. We enjoyed a nice picnic lunch.
The second night we took the kids out to Buffalo Phil's for dinner. We managed to get there early enough to get 2 train tables. They bring all the drinks and food out on a train. The kids of course loved it!

Attempting a group picture at the end of the day, Not smart, I know. We always try to get one of them in age order.
Amelia-8, Gabe-7, Carter-7, Drew-6, Claire-5, missing Maelle-5, Audrey-4, Emerson-3, Evelyn-10 months
Their attention only lasts so long. Evelyn is just sitting there watching the chaos unfold.
The next morning we managed to get a picture with all of them in it. All you need is a luggage cart.

The boys hug it out one last time
Amy made us these awesome canvases! I love that our friendship has stood the test of time and distance. I already look forward to the next reunion.
What a great tradition!
