We left on Thursday after work/school and spent the night in St. Louis. A friend who I met through adoption works at a hotel in the area, so we were able to visit with her for a bit on Friday morning before continuing our journey.
We arrived at Basswood Resort around 4:00pm on Friday. We're not really campers, so we chose to stay in a suite at the campground, which was more like a simple hotel room. Our group was fortunate to have access to the clubhouse all weekend, so we were able to use that facility as our general meeting place. It was equipped with a full kitchen and tables/chairs, and as an added bonus, it had air conditioning.
Nikolas quickly found some familiar friends and also made many new ones. He played hard all weekend and had a blast. We also had a great time visiting with old friends and meeting others in person for the first time. These events are so relaxed because it really does feel like one big family. It's so much fun to spend time with the folks that we chat with on Facebook and to see how well the kid are doing.
We swam, played games, laughed and worshipped together. We had tasty meals, great chats and just a lot of fun with each other. It was also nice to meet and chat with Nina and Rebecca, who are the two fabulous ladies who manage the Eastern European programs for CHI. Can't wait until our next reunion!! Here are a few pictures from the weekend.
