hulse family reunion 2012

i can't believe i haven't shared all about our fun hulse family reunion!
the reunion was held in celebration of mom & dad hulse's 40th wedding anniversary.
we met up a couple hours past chicago in the teeny, tiny town of sterling, illinois.
we all stayed at a beautiful, old mansion right on the river.
we did a lot of nothing, which was just perfect.
amazingly though, grandma found a quilt shop!
 grandma and aftie love a good quilt shop!
 we tried to get all of the cousins (with their birth number)
in an organized photo.
we almost got it!
 this little train belonged to the cute neighbor (driving) next door.
he took the kids on tons of rides around his track.
they loved it!
he even had wooden train whistles and hats for the kids to keep.
 prescott and ella are the best of cousins! 
they love each other and love playing together.
they always pick up right where they left off.
 an added bonus to the week, was dad's birthday!
we had a fun picnic at the park to celebrate.
 the aunties made this miniature replica of mom and dad's wedding cake.
we celebrated with cake, a drawing done by travis, and reminiscing.
 two monkeys!
 the whole entire cute hulse family!
grandpa and grandma with some of the crazies!
we had a great time making memories with our family!
