Spring Break 2009

A few weeks ago we met Jon's family up in Pigeon Forge, TN, to spend a long weekend playing and fellowshipping together. By Jon's family I mean: his parents, his two sisters and their families, his brother and his wife. All together there were 20 of us. 10 of those were kids and 5 of those kids are under age 4. We had a great time together and are planning to do this again next spring.
We planned dinner in teams...Tonya and I had Friday night. Below is a great shot of the girls helping us make dessert.
Our cabin had 2 hot tubs, but this day it was a little too chilly outside for the kids, so we let them play in one of the jacuzzi tubs. Above are Alex and Abbi.
Above - Clayton and AJ
I wasn't there when this photo was taken, but I just love it. It makes me smile every time I look at it. Clayton is so happy to share his ice cream with his little brother, AJ.
After our weekend in TN, Jon's two sisters and their seven children (combined), and Jon's mom all came down to stay with us for several days.

The pets got plenty of lovin'!
It was a very eventful 4 days...

We were so blessed to have sunshine during their visit!
The kids all had so much fun on our trampoline.

Below - we headed to Discover Mills mall one cool afternoon after naps to let the kids run around. Kristin and I put all the little ones on this cute train and let them ride around. They all loved it!

Robin took a crew of kids down to our playground one afternoon.
