This past weekend was the annual NICU reunion at the hospital where Riley was born. Since we weren't sure when we would be able to make it back for another one of these we decided to go this year. Dan, Leah, and Gabe joined us for the fun-filled weekend. We arrived in SLO on Friday afternoon. On Saturday, we woke up bright and early, went over to Pismo beach for some yummy cinnamon rolls and then headed over to the beach for some sand time. We then went back to the hotel, cleaned off the kids, and then headed over to the park for the reunion. We weren't sure what to expect but there were a lot more people than what we were expecting. We had a nice lunch, played a little, watched Leah fly a kite, had a wrestling match and then called it a day. Since the hotel we were staying at had a manager's special happy hour from 5:30 to 7:30 pm where the guys could get all the free beer they could drink we decided to go to an early dinner so we would be back in time to partake in the happy hour. We headed to McClintock's and had some great steaks. Then it was back to the hotel for some happy hour. On Sunday, we woke up, had some breakfast, then packed up the cars and checked out of the hotel. We then headed over to Morro Bay for some more fun at the beach and then a yummy lunch of fish and chips and clam chowder. After lunch, we headed back to the cars, said our good-byes and then headed back home. We really had a great time and loved being able to spend the weekend with the Aramigans. It was like the good ol' days when Leah and I were roommates and we were all always at the apartment together, well except now there was Gabe and Riley. Even though we are leaving for Houston we will definately have to find ways to do this more often. Click here for pictures of the trip. Below is a clip of some of the wrestling that was taking place at the reunion!

Thanks for the great slide show and the video of "The Great Gabo" the fiercest wrestler alive...so scarry he scares the other kids..
I'm sure Riley's reaction was due to someone else wrestling with his dad...it's like someone messing around with your toys...
Houston, TX ehh? Congratulations on the job Ben and I'm sure you'll be able to set Dan's sister straight on just how cheap the housing is in Texas...practically giving 'em away...yeah, right!!!!!
Anyway, good luck with the move and maybe we'll see you some...
Although Texas is one of my least favorite places...there are exceptions to everywhere...
Talk to you guys later,
Gabe's Gdad
