Rewind: July Sullivan Family Reunion

The weekend of July 23-24 we went up to Oshkosh for a few days. We actually left on Friday and stayed until Monday to give us some extra time and we also got to pick up Uncle Corey on the way so he could come too. We had a family reunion at the lake on Saturday so we spent most of the day playing in the water and eating. Ally is a little fishy so she had a blast jumping around, digging in the sand and playing with all the other kids. The water was fairly clean and a decent temperature. Mom, Kelly, Mark and Grady kept her busy in the water and we even got to go out for a short ride on the new pontoon boat- which was when she fell asleep. There are a few kids her age there and she was very excited to see so many people. The highlights included getting a dollar from Great Uncle James Humphrey because Ally can say his name clearly (an only family joke) and raiding Great Great Grandma Bea's candy dish for M&Ms just like we used to do. On Sunday we played over at Grandpa Joel's house and Ally had a great time with Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Paul. She was doing all of her tricks and everyone was very impressed with her singing, reading and counting skills. Monday we had to head for home but we could not leave without meeting Nicky and baby Adelle. Ally wasn't too interested in the baby girl but I was so happy to see them and hold her. She is adorable and growing so fast! Ally hasn't really cared much about all these babies we have been visiting lately, mostly because all of them have been boys until this time. She was a little concerned about me holding the new baby and was playing a little shy with Nicky but she was very gentle and gave 'baby dell' little hugs and pats on the head. We had a great weekend and Ally came back with 2 new princess barbies to play with.
