Mini Spendlove Reunion

We arrived in Santa Paula late Saturday evening after the attending a wedding reception, but just in time to say hi to everyone before hopping into bed, the floor, the couch, the sleeping bag or the air mattress. For this mini reunion there were 22 of us.

I think Sunday morning went pretty well and the Santa Paula Ward loved having us fill up all the empty church pews.

We took our traditional after Sunday Photos and this is what we got.

This is how well Sunday Morning went, even time for pictures.

Cute Grandpa!

Sunday afternoon playtime with the cousins!








We played a fun game that Uncle Stuart taught us around the kitchen table. I can't remember the name but can remember how to play and can't share it right now. We just have to play it.
We ended this session of the reunion with Happy Birthday cake for Aunt Sarah, Uncle Stuart, Nephi & Spencer, before . Steve, Rebecca, Stuart and his family had to head home.
The rest of us stayed for a day of fun at the beach. Lisa and her family and Grandma took us to Carpinteria Beach.









It was a fun day with lots of excitement. I was off getting lunch when supposedly Matthew met up with a Stingray. The lifeguard said it just scrapped the side of his foot and that he was alright. He had Matthew soak his foot for awhile and bandaged it up good. This picture doesn't show it very well at all. But I think the whole ordeal frightened Matthew a little as everyone was talking about Steve Irwin being killed by a stingray.

Matthew says he just scrapped it on a rock.

We stayed one more night before heading home. I don't have as much energy as I used too. So a good night sleep before driving home sounded good. And we also stopped by Great Grandma's house on the way home.

I stole this picture from Lisa's FB. I don't know when it was taken but I thought it was such a cool picture. I think we should get Grandpa a Harley. He is one tough looking dude.
