Life often does not go as planned. And when that happens, a little improvising goes a long way. We had reservations last week to go to the Barker Family reunion in Pigeon Forge, TN. Brett's dad, however, had a small health scare and we all thought traveling that far away would not be a good idea. So we decided to go down to Myrtle Beach where PaPa Ed lives and spend some time there. A couple of other family members also met us there and a small family reunion ensued. And it was honestly just perfect. We were able to spend time with family, enjoy being at the beach house (which my kids all love), and we spared ourselves 8 hours of car travel (which I kinda like). And rescheduling our trip was no problem - we will be staying in our cabin at Thanksgiving this year.
Ed and Anne with Ed's brother Robert and his wife Debbie hanging out at Sam's Corner!
Brett wearing the hat he won in the claw machine at Sam's Corner.
Brett's cousin Gayle with her husband Ben and PaPa Ed.
Gayle, Anne, Bren and Caroline at Gulfstream Cafe.
Yum! Finally got the ice cream truck to stop right in front of the house.
Gayle with Sadie. Sadie is ALWAYS the kids favorite part of the reunion. Thank goodness she has patience. They dress her over and over in little outfits, walk her around on her leash and this year even put her in the baby swing.
Eli and his cousin Cross having a slumber party. 11:15 and they were still awake.
Conor and Jude FINALLY falling asleep. They were up every night until 10 but when they slept, they were the cutest things you could imagine. Look at them holding hands!
