Tis the season for family reunions! Every year the Smits family tries to get together for an afternoon to reconnect. This year it was three hours away in Momence, IL, at my cousin Karen's house. The day was gorgeous...perfect for swimming in their pool, jumping on the trampoline, or playing soccer, basketball, volleyball, etc. They have a beautiful place! The boys were most excited about the elaborate model train set in one of Karen's boy's rooms. Unfortunately, the power was out a good share of the time we were there (which didn't hinder the party at all) so the trains were unable to run. Brielle's favorite part was jumping in the pool to Mom or Dad!
We all had a wonderful time swimming, eating, and talking. Instead of turning around for another three-hour trip home, we headed to Steve and Lori's house to spend the night there. The kids were so excited to have a sleepover with Henry...a little too excited! No one got to sleep much before 10:30pm Chicago time (that's 11:30pm for our kids!). We enjoyed most of Sunday there and then headed back home with a quick stop at Grandma and Grandpa's house to pick up Sage who had been left behind...poor puppy.
