Our girls all loved the splash park
Our little picnic area, just before we were evacuated!On Sunday 5 out of the 12 families from our group were able to get together at a park to celebrate our 2nd Gotcha Day. We had a great time catching up with everyone, and splashing in the spray park. The girls are getting so big, they are all approaching 3, of course Myah is already 3, but the others are close behind. They are all talking, running, working on potty training, getting ready for pre-school, and little Emma is even going to be a big sister next month! Gary and Candy are going to have a little baby girl! So amazing that after all of those years of trying to have a child, after they adopted Emma they got pregnant! So exciting for all of us to see them so happy.
These families mean so much to us and we were glad that we could share this day with them. A few families had graduation parties for their older children, two families now live out of state, but we still feel the connection to all of them when we are all together.
As our luck would have it, a huge storm came barreling in and they park officials told us that we needed to evacuate the park and seek shelter somewhere else due to severe weather. We literallly shut the car door and the downpour started. Tornado warnings were going off and it got pretty scary for a while. We all were safe and sound but it cut our celebration short.
On our actual Gotcha Day anniversary last Friday another bad storm came through and wouldn't you know it, a rainbow appeared!
*****fyi, for those of you who follow my other blog, I put up some great Father's Day ideas for you today!

It is amazing to me how much they have all changed since the first time we saw them getting off the plane. The smiles on their faces say it all!
They are all so beautiful!
Looks like such fun! Those travel groups really do become like family! What a special bond!

Such beautiful little girls. You all have such a great bond.
Wow... so adorable. They look so cute, and when I think of all they have been through together, I think they are a force of nature! Well, I could be right, since they triggered a tornado warning! ;)
What a bunch of cuties!!! Sounds like so much fun...and how lucky to all live close to one another!!
Sooo adorable! How wonderful for the girls to share this bond. Love the rainbow!:)
Oh, they all look so very cute! How fun!
