The Payne Reunion was held in Colorado this year. Gavin and Becky graciously allowed all of us to stay in their home and we had an eventful and fun filled weekend. It started with our 8 hour drive there...
Half way there we stopped at one of our favorite spots, Glenwood Springs, CO. They have a fun little Adventure Park that we stopped and played at. They have a tram that takes you up a mountain to the adventure park and the girls just loved it.
On the first day of the reunion we all headed to Estes Park to walk/hike around the lake...
This group wanted to take a steeper hike than the walk around the lake. As soon as Adalyn saw them head off she eagerly followed. I told her that it was going to be harder and she responded with, "I can do it. I am a big girl. Remember mom?"
And she was right. She kept right up with the other kids and wasn't afraid to climb as high as them.
The kids found a chipmunk friend to feed. It kept them entertained for quite some time.
That night we went to our favorite Chinese restaurant, Heaven Dragon. YUM!
The next day we went to a playground/water park/river...

That night most of us headed to a Rockies vs. Angels game while Grandma and Becky stayed home with the little ones...
On Saturday, the men took the kids on The Amazing Race that Grandpa had prepared for them. Meanwhile, Grandma had prepared a shopping/lunch trip for the women...
We had such a wonderful time! Adalyn and Quincy were so sad to leave their cousins. Thanks so much to Gavin and Becky for letting us invade your home. And a special thanks to Mom and Dad for putting it all together and showing us such a great time!
