Family Reunion time again. Although things went much different than originally planned. Instead of the whole family going, I drove with the 3 youngest....yes you read right...ALL BY MYSELF. Haydn was at Scout Camp and Emilee had mandatory dance rehearsals, so Delon had to stay. Getting there wasn't too bad, but coming home was an experience I have been slowly trying to erase from my memory.
Anyhow, it was a good trip and it's always so much fun to be with my family.
We left a day early and spent time with our long-time friend Robin. Thanks again to Mark and Robin for hosting...it's always a good time and good food!
Friday we started things off in Gilroy with lunch at the park, then swimming later at the hotel. That night we had dinner with everyone and then dessert with the Bozzo's! It's always good to catch up with these guys.
Saturday morning we headed over the hill to Santa Cruz Boardwalk. I loved being by the ocean...but of course the kids were more interested in the rides. The weather was great at first, but then it rained a little and got cold and windy. I actually enjoyed getting out of the heat , so it didn't bother me much.
Things weren't exactly how I planned, people tend to stay a little separated in places like this, so there wasn't much visiting time :(
As we were headed back later that day, we were stuck on the hill for about 20-30 minutes because of a fallen tree. This actually gave me the perfect opportunity to get out and take some pics of the wooded areas. It was beautiful....reminded me of Washington. Once the tree was removed we were on our way back for dinner. Dinner had to be thrown together at the last minute because what was planned fell through. We were late picking up our order and the place had closed. Just my luck. I was partially responsible for planning this reunion and felt a little disappointed with some of what happened, but you just do what you can and I was grateful for those who came. I love my family more than anything and know that that's what really matters.
I always love going back "home" to California. Thank you G&G Hillesheim, we love you!!

Amy, it was a great time to just all be together with Grandma and Grandpa. You plans were well designed but there were some issues that could not be changed. I feel everyone had a great time. You'll have to tell me about your ride home.
Very nice pics, thanks for sharing...
