Since we had so much fun last year in Reno with all the Walker kids, we've decided to make this an annual tradition! This year we all got together at Aaron and Melissa's house in Rancho Cordova, CA. It started on Saturday at the California State Fair and ended on Labor Day. Here are some pictures and highlights.
The Fair

The boat ride that cost $6 for both the kids to ride about 15 meters. This is why we don't go to Fairs!

At Aaron and Melissa's house, we ate alot and played plenty of games. The Walker kids love MarioKart so on Saturday night, they set up 3 TV's and 3 Wii's downstairs and had 8 people playing all at once. I watched! It was crazy. That night I think they played til 1 AM and the next night until 3 AM. Then on Monday they busted out Rock Band. We did manage to squeeze in Catch Phrase and Cranium in this videogame mayhem though. Needless to say, it was a lot of fun and "Party Phil" enjoyed himself immensly!
Aaron and Melissa's dogs had puppies about 5 days prior to this weekend. Kaylin LOVED holding the puppies.
After the retreat, we stopped by Phil's grandparents house in Orangevale. It was tons of fun to see them and have the kids go swimming in the pool. Zachary held grandpa's hand as they explored their 2 acre property. Kaylin and Zachary both loved picking apples right off the tree and getting some fresh pears. They also loved seeing the cool fish pond and all the huge fish they have in it. It was a really fun visit.
