Class of 2005

And then it was Max's 10 year reunion. I don't think I ever posted about mine (Class of 2004)because it was a little ridiculous. Or maybe it was just that I really wasn't friends with many people in my grade, and it was at a bar, and we don't drink, and we thought there would be food so we were starving. ANyway when Max heard about his reunion he was so so excited. He was Mr. Social in high school and pretty much made friends with everyone. There was a lot of planning and preparation that went into his reunion so it was fun. it was a 2 day ordeal, The first night was a for whole families, kids included, and we had a catered dinner at the Tigard Festival of Balloons. We had been wanting to go there with our family for awhile since we went as children. There was not much of a turnout for this family event. But we had coordinated with some of our closest friends (Richard and Joe) so we would all be there with our kids. Still it was fun to meet with the handful of people that came and have a great catered dinner.

I think the kids had the most fun of all, playing with the water spigot for HOURS!

It was getting late, after bedtime for our kids and they were soaked and crazy so we decided to leave the pavilion area to go into the festival.

 Richard, Brittany, Joe and Max,
Both Richard and Joe live here and we see them regularly, we were really excited that Brittany came into town from LA for some family time and to come to the reunion.

The Night-Glow is probably the coolest part of the festival. If you go at 5;45 in the morning, sometime during the 3 day festival you will see them launch off tons of hot air balloons but we ended up not going that early so we just enjoyed a couple glowing balloons that evening.

It got late and we were surprised at how well our children were acting, after exploring the booths and walking through the festival we called it a night and went back to our car. Both kids were asleep within minutes.

The second day of the reunion was for adults only. It was at a restaurant with appetizers and drinks, It was crazy how many people we knew compared to my reunion,. I guess it was just because I hung out with Max throughout high school but really there are so many good and fun people in his class. There was a great turnout but it was incredibly hot on the patio they reserved. Max loved catching up with everyone. The time passed quickly and before we knew it, it was time to go home and let our babysitter free. This is the one photo we ended up taking. Totally random. I wish we at least got one of Max and me together, we were all dressed up and looking good! Haha!

McKell, me and Brett. Mckell is a friend from church and Brett was my partner when we were DARE camp counselors two years in a row.

And there you have...reliving the glory days of high school!
