Family Reunion

With the summer coming to an end, these next few posts are a recap of what's happened this past month!  Updates on vacations, visits, and a handful of the daily Ellis life.

At the very end of June, Tyler and I made the all too familiar drive to Allen to start our two week vacation/family visit.  Our first order of business: re-pack our luggage.  We had to pack for two weeks, but we were also packing for two separate vacations...it was a mess.  3 suitcases and 3 carry-on bags later, we were ready to hit the road with the fam and head to San Antonio for our family reunion.

So lucky we were able to fit in one car for the drive down!  Made for some pretty fun car games.  On our way down to SA, we made a small detour to float the Comal River. 

We had a great time at the family reunion.  Quizzing each other on different family member names, eating on the River Walk, family group pictures, sitting out by the pool, Sea World, and of course, family reunion karaoke!

Sea Lion show at Sea World...and they said Sea World was a kid's theme park!

We rode that...the roller coaster.

SHAMU!!!

Success at Sea World

Oh yeah...that's dad singing "Ring of Fire" with his big bro.  We all sang karaoke that night...even the newbies Tyler and Aaron.  Definitely a family reunion tradition that will continue.

Good times at the family reunion...Family Reunion 2014 - St. Louis here we come!
