Today Collin, Grandma, and I attended our international adoption agency's reunion picnic. It was held in St. Louis and, living in Southern Illinois, I have been to the city too many times to count. But, I have not always been the one driving when going into the city. It makes me a little nervous. I got the directions for where we were going off of the internet and they seemed pretty simple. Thank goodness, they were! My mother-in-law was along to help out, which I was thankful for. We arrived at the reunion and signed in. Collin spotted a book at a stand that was set up and it was, of course, a tractor book. We made the purchase and headed into the craft area where Collin made a cute little puppet and played hopscotch and ring toss. While all of this was going on, we were reuniting with families that we traveled to China with almost 9 months ago. It was neat to see them again, especially the girls and Jackson, the other little boy in our travel group. They have all blossomed from receiving the love and attention their families give them. Collin loved the parachute toss, especially when he got to run underneath it! After lunch, a kids' music due set up on stage and entertained the kids. It was really neat, and the kids enjoyed singing and dancing along. Collin was tired by then and enjoyed listening on either mine or grandma's lap. Overall, I am glad we attended and hope to attend next year!
What Collin is doing now: playing with his tractors and waiting to go to his first demolition derby!
