The Jones Reunion...minus Nathan's family :( We had a wonderful time hanging out with all of the cousins & aunties & uncles. The kiddies loved all the attention they got and they especially loved hanging out with their cousins. (It had been three years since we had seen Makenna & Kyla. How did that happen?) Robert and I loved seeing so much of the family together at the same time. Thank you Mom for all of your hard work in pulling that together!

Prepare yourselves for an avalanche of pictures. I usually don't put quite so many up at one time but there were so many great experiences and so many people we hardly ever see that I thought I'd put them all out there. 

We stayed at a beautiful house in Bodega with a view of the ocean. It was gorgeous and easily fit the entire family. We were able to get a nice picture of every family on our last day. 

We were able to take the kids out to the beach quite a few times despite the persistent cold weather. The kids didn't seem to mind most of the time and would strip on down and jump in the water while all the adults kept our sweaters on. The early risers went down to the tide pools in the the mornings to check out all the exiting marine wildlife. (The rest of us checked out the pictures they took :) (The last picture is of Ethan and Makenna, hugging)

We were able to celebrate Dad's birthday twice this year. Once at Mom & Dad's house and once at the beach house with the whole family. 

 While we were all together we took a trip to the redwoods. Later that evening the kids had a talent show, played games and we all enjoyed a great dinner. (The last picture is of Ethan and Austin walking over a bridge)

We enjoyed everyday we spent with all of you. One day we might even live within driving distance to one of our family members. Until next time Joneses!
