Wet 'n Wild

Get ready for A LOT of pictures! I got a bit picture happy on our trip to CA. We FINALLY got to go to an official MidCart reunion! Last year was a couple days tagged onto big brother's wedding and the year before that, I was having Lexi! We were excited to join in on the major festivities. The theme was "Wet 'n Wild" and what a perfect theme for so many grandkids! My girls love anything water so we were pretty much in heaven.

Folsom Aquatic Center
River Float - Lexi sat with me on a raft and Keira got to ride with Daddy in the kayak. She's so like her Daddy! Can anyone say adventure-seeker?This is a favorite at the Riverhouse (it is truly a "riverhouse" since it is actually on the river). Keira racing her daddy. Is it a tie?
Enjoying refreshments
The girls performed The Hukilau and the boys performed The Haka. Too cute!Water games followed. Grampa Paul helping Keira squeeze the sponge to fill the bucket.
Lexi found other ways to entertain herself."Dry" duck, duck, goose. We didn't think the "littles" would like the wet version as much as the "bigs".Water balloon toss - Keira and Daddy took 2nd place
Keira rounding 2nd base...
Lucky Lexi had her 2nd birthday while we were there so we celebrated with cousins. Thanks to Aunt Amy, she had the most perfect cupcakes! Lexi is licking off her topper - it's a picture of a dog, which is one of her all time favorite things. Thanks Amy. You're the best!
Sister time
The crazy attempt to take pictures at 7:30 am with 23 grandkids. That's a lot of Cheese!
Grandparents and their 23 grandkids. Yes, mine is the crying stinker in the front.
And the craziest of them all...my favorite people. Top: Me, Coley, Jill, Chelle, Kyle, T, Beaner; Bottom: Cindi, Ty, Gina-na. I love dem so much!
I love these girls and I love that they WANT to be friends!
Birthday celebration #2. Lexi's actual birthday was the day most of my siblings left, but that didn't stop Gramma Jenny from making it special. More cupcakes!Another one of Lexi's all time favorite things. Bubbles! My bubbles.
The Cali fun continues...stay tuned.
