Trotter Reunion 2011

The Trotter Reunion was held over the weekend in beautiful Tennessee.  We rented an awesome cabin in Townsend, which was centrally located to the weekend's event locations.


We enjoyed a beautiful view of the Smokies from our front porch

On Friday, we all went to Dollywood. Why did I let my baby go on this ride???

The Lucky Ducky...

...and Piggy Wiggy were much more his speed.  :)


Saturday was all day water sports at Uncle Clyde's and Aunt Kathy's

And Jon got to try knee boarding and water skiing

Larry went on his very first boat ride with Uncle Clyde, just like his mommy when she was a baby.

Larry stayed cool in the baby pool on Sunday. He kept me and his aunts cool by pouring water on our feet while we lounged in the shade.

And to prove that mommy was also on this vacation...Larry and I took a pontoon boat ride with Uncle Herb. Larry doesn't look too thrilled in the picture. He fell asleep on me as soon as we left the dock. It was the best nap he had during our whole trip!

Swimming with the little cousins. Larry thought it was so fun to jump to daddy from the dock!

First MLB Game

Larry attended his first major league baseball game tonight.  The Washington Nationals played the Chicago Cubs. First Lady Michelle Obama was also in attendance to support military families. There were secret service everywhere!
Now, I could lie and say what a wonderful family outing it was. But, I'm not going to lie. It was miserable. Larry did not want to stay in his seat. We sat by the nicest and sweetest couple so at least we weren't getting any dirty looks. Jon and I took turns taking him for a walk and little did we know that we both got him ice cream. This was after he basically ate french fries for dinner. Our smartest move was to leave our awesome seats and go up to the main level where Larry could run around and Jon was able to enjoy another hot dog and a beer and watch more of the game.






Michelle Obama with the military kids, throwing out the first pitch. See how close our real seats were?!?

Snacking at the pool...
