Over Labor Day we took the opportunity to catch up with some family. Ususally, the Reiter Clan gets together, but with all the weddings this year, we opted not to have the big family gathering. With a three day weekend starting at us, we knew we needed to take advantage.
We loaded the care and headed to Houston to see the Kennemers and DiStefanos. With 6 boys between the ages of 8 and 5 months, it was definitely a party. Julie and her family were gracious to host us. While we had grand plans to do and see much, we spent most of our time just catching up. The highlight of the trip (other than getting to catch up on a years worth of discussions) was our trip to Galveston. We were joined by Peggy and Charlie, Lu Ann and Paul, Brooke, Jackson and Noah and the entire Kennemer clan (Julie, Phil, William, Andrew and Carson). The boys wasted not time hitting the beach. Jackson may have had the most fun of all - he was so excited about sheer volume of water and sand. Matthew had a wonderful time though he was really tired. True to his personality, he couldn't take a nap while there for fear of missing something. This mean intermittent periods of rest inbetween playing. We were so excited about how much he enjoyed the beach and look forward to our next visit.
