Atwood Family Reunion

Last week we spent 4 days in Pismo Beach, California for an Atwood family reunion. This is my dad's mom's family. We get together every 2-3 years, have been doing this as long as I have been around. This year about 90 family members were able to make it. We have had 200-300 family members in past years. I'm so thankful to be part of such a great family and thankful I know my extended family so well. It was great to see everyone! Page did awesome on the airplane rides and enjoyed playing with all her cousins. We had a nice suite with an awesome view and got to spend lots of time at the beach. Page was scared of the ocean but enjoyed playing in the sand after she got over the fact that she was getting dirty ;) We didn't spend much time in the pool. It was too cold for our liking, but the rest of the family enjoyed it. It wasn't really "beach weather," it was in the low 70s during the day with a breeze. However, we really enjoyed the cooler temps. It was a great trip that went by way too fast, we were sad to come home! Here are a few pictures (okay a lot of pictures) from our trip...

Airport fun...

Waiting for our bags and checking out the landing pad. It was really neat for Page to experience a smaller airport!!
