Family Reunion

A few weeks ago we went down to the San Diego area for the McBurney Family Reunion. We camped at Skinner Lake with my sister and BIL and their 3 kids, my parents, and my dad's parents.

Highlights of the trip were: stopping at the LA Zoo on the way down, Chuck getting to stop at the Bass Pro Shop while the kids napped in the car, hanging out with family at the campsite (campfire songs courtesy of my BIL and Grandma Beckie, 15 people comfortably picnicking in the 5th wheel, and lots of food), 1 blissful hour by myself to shop at Ikea, a pool party BBQ at my 2nd cousin's house, and a Scottish Fiesta themed reunion with the best guacamole ever (it pays to have an avocado farmer in the family).
The two oldest McBurney men on our side of the family: my grandpa in the blue shirt and my great uncle in the brown shirt.

I love my grandparents' new rig. It's so spacious.





My sister and her youngest daughter.






Napping on the bedroom floor in the 5th wheel. The spot was just wide enough for her.
















That's a hot air balloon. We saw them bright and early each morning.

Ya, it has a pop out. The whole section where the couch and table and chairs are slides out. The kitchen is bigger than mine at home and has about as much counter space.

I know, the new trailers are so awesome! We went in our friends' 5th wheel the other day and I told David we were selling our house and buying one!
