Parnell Family Reunion

We just got back from our annual Parnell Family Reunion. It was held in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, and we had a great time! I was so excited for Nathan to play with his cousins and to show off Charlotte for the first time! We rented one big house with 6 bedrooms where many of us stayed, and then several condos. The "big house" was where we all gathered during the day and night for eating and visiting. Really it should have been called the "crazy house" because of all of the kids running around, playing, and having the time of their lives! We loved watching Nathan interacting with all of the kids, and trying to be a big kid himself :) I was so proud of the way he acted...not many fits, and he was so social with everyone!

And Charlotte got completely spoiled by being held all the time! She was passed around constantly but loved the attention, and I loved the free time :)

Jake, Nathan, Landon and Logan - Landon and Logan are our nephews (Wayne's brother's kids)


Charlotte with Uncle Cliff (Chris' Dad)


Auntie Carrie and Uncle Chris with Charlotte


Uncle Stuart (Wayne's brother) multi-tasked and gave all three boys a bath...thanks Stu!


"Can someone give me a hand here?!"

After getting all cleaned up, the boys were ready to play again!

This is the air mattress that Grandmother slept on in our room, but the boys turned it into their own trampoline. No matter how many times I told them not to jump on it, they would still sneak in and jump away. I even caught them trying to jump from our bed onto the mattress! It's a wonder they never popped it!
