We just arrived home after a week vacation visiting with Kris' family and friends in his hometown Roanoke. We attended a beautiful wedding with old friends, enjoyed a family and friend “reunion” at the Wiseley's where our little rug-rats had the chance to meet and run around together, visited the historical Monticello- home of Jefferson, and spent time with family throughout the week. It was a great trip- we already miss everybody (and the green hills!). Owen had a blast playing with Jenkins and Onyx and Oliver (the Wiseley dog clan) and his cousins and new friends. It took him a few days to get adjusted to the time change, but all in all, he was a great traveler.
Kris has a great group of friends from home and luckily we get the chance to visit with them every year or so. Back in 2000, after Kris' college graduation, some of the gang took a group photo on the lawn in Kris' backyard. A couple years later (on my first visit back to meet the family), we took a similar picture. One with just the gang and one with the gang + significant others. It's been 9 years since the original photo shoot, so we thought it was time for a repeat performance. This time, we have the gang (a couple friends weren't in the original because they couldn't make it to the party and vice versa) in one shot, the gang + their spouces/kids and one with the gang + their parents + their kids- 3 generations! We had a great time taking the pictures and of course visiting and catching up with everybody.
One of Owen's favorite activities during our trip was the visit to Grandma's, Aunt Beth's, Uncle Ray's, & cousin Nick's house. There he met his cousin Logan (1 year younger) and played on the farm. He walked in the garden, fed and pet goats, fed the pretty horses, jumped on the trampoline (A LOT), played on the playground, sat on a BIG tractor, and he even rode an ATV for the first time (with his Daddy of course).
We had so many great pictures from our trip that I decided it would be easier to post a link to our web albums than post a couple on the blog. Most of the pictures are from the reunion, but there are some others, too.
