A year ago yesterday my dear sweet Grandma went to be with Grandpa in Heaven. Hardly a day goes by that I do not think of Grandma for one reason or another. I love & miss her so much. I love the song by Justin Moore "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away" It makes me thing of all of my Grandparents that have passed. What I wouldn't give to get to spend just 1 more day with each of them.
My Aunt Linda planed a super fun weekend for us all to be together. We all met up at Divot's Lodge & Suites in Norfolk. It was the perfect get away weekend. All but 2 of my cousins made it for a least part of the weekend. The kids had an absolute blast in the pool. The oldest set of kids ages 10-8 swam until 10:00 Saturday night! The middle set of kids ages 6-3 were not happy they did not get to get back in the pool after supper, but they had fun playing in the rooms anyway. We had a great time visiting & playing games until late at night. My Grandma really enjoyed playing board games, so it was only fitting that we play them in her honor :-) My Aunts/Cousins are a fun bunch of game players. Lots of laughs & great time was had by all!

| This is a picture from a few years ago of me & my Grandma Forre. It was taken at my cousin, Heather's, wedding. |
 |
| The Forre Grand kids/Great Grand kids that went swimming. Whitney was not much of a fan of the pool. The water was not as warm as we would have like it. The cooler water did not stop the bigger kids from enjoying the pool! |
 |
| The jets in the hot tub were not working so it was more like a giant hot bath tub. I know the adults were a little disappointed, but it was nice for the kids to play in ! |
 |
| My Mom & cousin Heather trying to entertain all the little ones. |
 |
| Supper time! Linda had organized a prime rib supper for everyone! It was really good! |
 |
| The Great Grand Daughters of Sidney & Phyllis Forre. They also took pictures of the Great Grandson, but as you can see by how Whitney was acting in this picture, I had my hands full when they were taking that picture so I did not get it. |
 |
| Jenae & Whitney after a swim. These are my 2 twins, just 8 years apart in age :-) |
 |
| You can see in this picture how much Whitney LOVES her big sister! I need to print this out for Jenae to remind her as how both her little sisters look up to her & she needs to set a good example for them :-) |
 |
| Ahhh...the card ride home! We hit a drive though & headed home when we checked out of the hotel. Whitney was asleep before we even got to the drive through & the big girls crashed as soon as their belly's were full. They were exhausted! All that swimming really wears a girl out! |
