Pre-Reunion...

When our plane landed from Washington, we went straight from the Oakland Airport to San Francisco.  Paul had a "Good Neighbor" honors dinner to attend at Cavallo Point.  The fog hadn't quite burned off yet & I love how the Golden Gate Bridge hides in the clouds...


We drove across to Cavallo Point, now part of our National Park System, where historic Fort Baker sits.  They have taken the old army post & renovated the buildings to make it into a 5 Star Resort...truly beautiful!

We had our picture taken, we enjoyed a fancy dinner, & Paul was among a select group of agents recognized on stage with their wives...more pictures & they gave me this crazy BIG bouquet of flowers...


I had to straddle these flowers all the way home to Coloma!  Awkward!!!


When we got home these cute little critters were there to greet us!  They came a few days early for the family reunion...we had fun playing outside.  Olivia & Jude LOVE being outside!




The midgets showed up shortly after to play, too!  We were all so excited to see our cousins!  Aunt Cindi organized a nature scavenger hunt...


Unka Ty got in on a little tire-swing fun with the midgets...


A couple of days later...ALL the extended cousins gathered to begin our long anticipated, fun-filled Middleton Family Reunion!  Our last "extended" Middleton Reunion was in 2003!  It was so fun (& emotional) to see everyone as they arrived...I LOVE THIS FAMILY!



Our guests of honor...Larry & Jeanne Middleton...parents of four, grandparents of 24, great-grandparents of 56 (with 4 more on the way!)  You've created such a wonderful family & we love you more than words can express.  Thank you for giving us a reason to celebrate family!  

Let the shenanigans begin!

I need that picture of G'ma and G'pa. You forgot to mention that we got you sick! It was a fun "pre-reunion"
