Motoring!!!

This past weekend we headed to the mountains of Pennsylvania for the annual Wagner Day-Before-Columbus-Day Spaghetti Dinner (aka family reunion)...and we went in an RV!!! Grampy rented it as a gift to us because it was the only way we would go down with the kids. The RV had some technical difficulties before we even got it off the lot (and then a few during the trip) but all in all it went MUCH better than I anticipated. The kids were absolute champs during the rides down and home and also did great sleeping on the RV (not an easy feat with 2 women and 3 kids, 3years old and under in a confined 30 foot space - we made the 3 guys sleep in the cabin!) We had tons of fun seeing Ryan's family who we haven't seen in a few years and will definitely do it again next year.
Chestnut Flat Hunting Cabin

Coco - this dog did not bark ONCE the entire weekend. Nick LOVED her even though she knocked him down three or four times. Nick wanted to be outside every second but an adult didn't always want to be since it was kind of cold out...he didn't understand why Coco didn't count as a suitable chaperone!

Nick and Avery

Chelsea and Krin

Nick, Owen & Gavin

Nick catching handoffs. Surprisingly he had about a 90% catch rate despite closing his eyes every single time!

The Wagner Boys (minus Brian)

Ryan's beautiful Aunts, Chris and Lori

Chelsea playing with Auntie Dee Dee (she didn't want me to leave her for one moment but Dee Dee stole her away and she was perfectly fine...as long as I stayed out of sight.)

Joey & Grampy, too much spaghetti

Cousins! Blake, Owen, Chelsea & Nick. Gavin wouldn't sit for the pictures but we got these 4 to sit for about 10 minutes during one shoot and then for another 5 minutes during the second shoot...we were very proud of them (and ourselves!) Chelsea is the only girl so far...Ryan, his brother and his 3 cousins who have had kids, all have one child and they are all boys. We started the second round with a girl so maybe everyone will follow and Chelsea won't always be the only girl everywhere she goes (she is the only girl at Linda's too)!!!
