But it's worth the drive, especially today, 'cause we got to see all the Hammond gals and their families. (And Aunt Joyce and Uncle Larry!)
It's such a thrill to see the younger ones get along just like they left off - it's been at least a year since Carson has seen Lisette and Nicole. My fondest memories of the cottage trailer are of the times the Alvarez kids stayed with us. We will never forget the fierce argument between Leah and Jake about the reality of good and bad bears. It's been several years since these two have seen each other - and within a minute, they were thick as thieves, checking out Jake's DS:
We took lots of pictures because we never know when we will be together again.
We discussed sending Carson down to Bolivia for a visit next month, but when she found out that it's winter down there right now, Carson asked that we wait until the weather was warmer. I hope that we get that chance!
New grandma Kim tried to get into this picture too, but got booted out:
Thanks Aunt Pat. What a great afternoon. What a great family (aren't we?)!

Don't mind saying that we are part of an absolutely amazing family and I am overwhelmed sometimes to feel it. I too love seeing the kids together.
We would so love to have Carson here - but it really doesn't get warmer by much in the summer! Thanks again for coming to Mom's, I love that the kids get along so well! Did you see the pics from the girls' Toronto trip?
XOXOXOXOXO
The oldest generation now (good grief, when did that happen??), we take so much pleasure in watching how successive generations have all become friends as well as relatives. We are magnificent!
