Zeke had the time of his life at the 'big' Loertscher reunion (descendants of Aaron's grandparents) last weekend. He spent most of the time with a cousin and second cousin his age and they had loads of fun. They ate outside together, played swords, played water games, played on the slide, climbed big tires, rode the big swing, played in the sand, flew a virtual starship, and of course rode the Little Loertscher train. It was fun to watch the kids when the train was ready to run - as soon as that engine starts, all kids who can possibly squeeze themselves into the cars come running from all corners of the yard.
(swing fun made possible by Heather, who helped them up and then pushed the swing)
Lunch in the train while it was parked on the patio.
Nora cruised the furniture, crawled around the patio, discovered that she loves Fritos, and made lots of new friends just by giving smiles and generally being adorable. She also has a cousin and second cousin her age and they played together as much as 1 year olds do. She didn't get to ride the train but she tried out a parked train car.
Aaron and I didn't do much besides chat with a few people, watch/chase Nora, and Aaron played a couple of games of rummy. I love that the kids have the chance to get to know their second cousins and great aunts and uncles.
