On the last day of May, we packed up and headed south...for graduation celebrations, sunshine and a fabulous time with family! The Hardy family always opens their home and heart to us crazy Meyers and a blast is had by all!
Early morning airplane watching at SeaTac while we watched "patiently" to board our plane.
The kids were great on the flight...and we were ready for sun and fun!
We made it! Coffee time with Ty, Brittany and Aunt Becky. It was over 90 degrees at 9am...these Bothellites were not ready for the EXTREME heat!
Post-coffee...it was time to cool off with a little swimming pool action!s
It's a blast to see how much the kids love the pool and makes me remember all the fun in a swimming pool when I was a little one. Vacation always had a special chunk spent at the pool!
The main event of the trip was Sammi's graduation! These kiddos clean up pretty well...and no, I didn't mean to have them match. That's what happens when Rich and I divide and conquer with the kids.
Griffin and Uncle Jason just hanging together.
Family pictures are more difficult now than ever...so if all 4 of us make it in the picture, we consider it a success!
Selfies on the field getting ready for graduation to start.
Here she is Miss Clovis Graduate 2016!
Sisters!!! I should do the comparative from 2015 when the rolls were reversed!
The cousins (and Rich).
Gabie, Sammi and Ty!
The Hardy Family.
The Meyer Family with the graduate.
Silly selfies.
These two crack me up.
Heat wiped us all out...so the kiddos found happy places to lounge with the girls. Griffin was attached to Gabie while Millie hung with Sammi.
Fun with Snap Chat...the kids love selfies, but this takes it up to a whole new level.
To escape the heat, we took a day trip to Kings Canyon.
Exploring the HUGE sequoias and even getting to walk through them.
Our little climber!
Yes, another attempt at a family picture.
These two...sometimes they do get along!

Again, we try for group shots...

Breakfast out on our last morning.
Good-byes are always the worst...but it was a great trip and we can't wait for our next visit.
At the airport getting ready to head home.
Final milk and coffee before boarding the plane.
We made it home.
What a great trip and memories for all. We love all our special time with the Hardy family and are so thankful they open up their lives to all our craziness.
