Alex's 10 year reunion weekend

We went to Denton this past weekend for Alex's 10 year reunion. He decided he wanted to attend the football game (and not the Saturday night party), so we left town in time to make it there for the game. The kids stayed with Cheetah and Papou while we headed to the game. We were both expecting to find a group of people from his class sitting together like we did at my reunion. Well, he scanned the stands several times and confirmed that there was NOBODY there! We were so surprised. We sat down for about 10 minutes to laugh at ourselves for driving so far for nothing and then decided to leave the game and go have some wine and cheese at little local place. Our night turned out to be very fun, just not what we had envisioned.
We still had Saturday morning to look forward to. Perry and Mills' cousin, Bree, was having her 3rd birthday party. On Saturday, we woke up and were just about all ready to go when we got a call that the party was canceled. Poor Bree had been in the hospital all night with an asthma exasperation and wasn't going to be going home that day :-( We were mostly concerned about Bree, but couldn't help but think what a bust the weekend was so far! Cheetah and Papou ended up taking Perry and the other cousins to Bree's house to see the decorations, eat a cupcake, and deliver presents.

Since we hadn't had anything go as planned, Alex decided to give the Saturday night reception a shot. He contacted the organizer and she said it would be fine for us to show up. This time we were not disappointed. There was a great turn out and Alex was able to see and visit with so many old friends. I'm so glad we went.
Besides staying with Cheetah and Papou, other highlights from the weekend were playing with the next-door kittens, hanging out with Annie and Nate and having lunch with Paw.
