Last weekend we went down to Vancouver for the Ladd Family Reunion. We had an absolute blast with everyone. My Dad and Carol flew up from California and all of us Ladd girls drove down from the north to meet up with all of the Wickwires. We all played in the pool, hung out, caught up, ate great food, etc. We soaked up every moment.

It was Maya's first time meeting Grandma Charlotte (Maya's great grandma). It was love at first sight. :) She never stopped smiling when Grandma was holding her. Grandpa Ladd also came down for the festivities and was able to spend a little time with Maya too.

All and all it was a great weekend, a weekend I will never forget.

Recap on Maya this weekend:

Maya was the happiest baby the entire weekend. She took awesome naps, slept in the car the whole way down to Vancouver, and most of the way back.

This weekend was her first pool experience....didn't like it one bit! Even when we tried dunking her just her feet in she cried.

She was infatuated with my Dad's scruff on his face. She kept grabbing at it when he would hold her. She really likes facial hair!

She is definitely Daddy's little girl right now. No matter where he is if she hears his voice she whips her head around and smiles the second she sees him.

Her favorite people this weekend were.....just about everyone that would smile at her! :)

Thank you to the Wickwires for having us this weekend! I know it was a lot of people to house! Thank you to Daddy and Carol for making the long trip up to see everyone, it wouldn't have been the same without you two there! Good Luck to Joel on your new adventure, we love you and are rooting for you!

Love you all,
Mandy, Maya and DJ
