Lerner family reunion

About one month ago, we went to Virginia Beach for Pete's family reunion, and we had a ton of fun. For Cecilia, the fun started as early as the airport, where there was a little plane playground for her to climb around:


At the reunion, Cecilia got to reacquaint (or acquaint) herself with a lot of her cousins, including Aaron, Jacob, Isabel, Rachel, and Mattie!



Although I didn't take pictures that consistently, some of the memorable times I did record included playing golf with Aaron:




and playing the piano with Isabel (she still remembers that Isabel "got the chair all dirty!"):




I have a few funny videos of Cecilia playing after the pizza party with Aaron and Isabel:





In the morning, was we were deciding whether or not to go to a water park, Cecilia was trying to read a book about Spiderman with Isabel:



Water activities, as might be expected, were a huge hit, and were pretty extensive, so that will be the next post.

Although some people had to leave beforehand, we actually managed to get a family photo on the 3rd night, with the help of some random hotel guest that Ben dragged into the room:


And then on the last night we were there, we had one final dinner with the remaining family that were still around:

Thanks to Isabel, I have this cute video of Cecilia eating her "noodles," courtesy of Joanne Wagman:



Sadly, we eventually did have to leave. We got to the airport early, and then found out our plane was delayed almost two hours! Thankfully, we brought a bazillion toys and books for Cecilia to keep her occupied. We must have read/sang "there was an old lady who swallowed a fly" about 1000 times.


Thank you to Arlene (and Jerry) for organizing the whole thing!! Here's to 2014. :)
