BClan Reunion

Yesterday was our annual BClan Reunion (or as my sister calls it, our annual Redneck Bar-B-Q).  It is perhaps one of my most favorite days of the year.  I look forward to it as much as I look forward to Christmas, and this year it did not disappoint.  For the first time in 7 years, all of the guys were able to attend which made it even more special than usual.  I LOVE watching these guys reconnect after having not seen each other for a year.  They pick up right where they left off as if no time has passed at all. It really is such a unique group of guys.  And what makes it even better is that they are all have awesome wives that I enjoy hanging out with too!

Meet the newest members of the BClan... Britton and Cara.  The addition of these two sweet girls brings the current total of BClan babies to 13 (plus one more due in September!). 

There were several big changes that happened this past year, but one of the biggest was the addition of a swimming pool at Heath's house.  It was definitely the hit of the party, especially with the kids (and the daddies!).  The kids swam for at least three hours before dinner without stopping.  The only reason some of them got out to eat was because we insisted on it.

After dinner a few of the kids (Parker included) kept swimming, but most of them headed over to the Bullard Fun Park to play.  They enjoyed swinging, climbing, sliding, riding bikes, and jumping on the trampoline.

I'm pretty sure neither one of these cuties had a license to drive but that didn't stop them from cruising all around the yard!

The weather could not have been more perfect last night... not too hot with a nice breeze.  Perfect for relaxing and watching the kids play together.

The best part of the night was watching these guys hang out.  Lots of talking, laughing and reminiscing.

At dark, we all settled in for the fireworks show.  The kids were tired but made it to the end without any whining or tears.  Parker and Lily enjoyed some sparklers while we waited for the guys to set up the fireworks.

It was a GREAT day and the kids were worn out by the end.  They had so much fun and were all three asleep before we got out of Heath's driveway.  I am so thankful for lifelong friends and am already looking forward to BClan Reunion 2013!
