Martin & Rosamonde Johnson Family Reunion 2007

It seems that the last 3 months of our lives and our Johnson parents' lives have been focused on this one VERY important weekend in the Johnson family. From June 28th-30th, about 120 Johnson relatives gathered here in Orange County from as far away as Japan and as close as San Diego for a Johnson Family Reunion. They all came to join in a beach-going, pool-loving, bounce house-jumping, face-painting, water game-playing, food-eating EXTRAVAGANZA!! It all went by too fast so here are a few pictures to remember it by....

"Kids Are Music" is the name of the group...

Grandpa and Grandma Johnson were also there to cheer our girls on as they performed at a local retirement home with their summer singing group "Kids are Music". There are tons of great things about this non-profit children's performing group that we joined for the summer--learning to give service to the elderly, learning to perform in front of large groups of new faces, memorizing songs and dance moves...but their all-time favorite part is definitely the costume and props! Kennidy loves the red and white pom poms and Madison loves to wave her American Flag (especially when no one else is). I will try and put some video footage on later this summer...

Something Fun to share with Grandparents....

The best part about having Grandpa and Grandma Johnson come early for the Family Reunion is that they were able to see Kennidy and Madison perform in their Dance Recitals. The girls were so excited to have special family guests in the audience!! See below where I posted a video clip of Kennidy's tap performance--Life is a highway!

We're ready to go off to Kindergarten...

Madison's preschool graduation was unforgettable to say the least. She looked so cute in her little cap and her performance during the closing song was....well it was 100% Madie Rose!

Red Ripe Strawberries and the Big Hungry Bear...

Carter boy was hilarious at the Strawberry Patch field trip we went on with Madison's preschool class. He couldn't get enough of them and was actually pretty good at finding AND eating the ripe red ones! He just wasn't going to share his 'Big Red Ripe Strawberry' with anyone!

Life is a Highway....

This was Kennidy's favorite Tap Number from her Spring Recital. Kennidy is the 4th one from the left or the tallest one in the middle. She definitely gets her dance moves from her dad! ;0)
